title: Synthesis of 4-pyrido-6-aryl-2-substituted amino pyrimidines as a new class of antimalarial agents.
abstract: A series of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyrimidines were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. Of the 18 compounds synthesized, 14 compounds showed MIC in the range of 0.25-2 microg/mL. These compounds are in vitro several fold more active than pyrimethamine.
