L. Ngadi et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTIPARASITIC ACTIVITY OF NEW 1-NITRO, 1-AMINO AND 1-ACETAMIDO 9-ACRIDINONES, Arzneimittel-Forschung, 43-1(4), 1993, pp. 480-483
The synthesis of 1-amino-10-alkyl-9-acridinones 4 and 5 and of homolog
ous 9-thio-acridinones 7 and 8 are described Similarly, the synthesis
of 1-nitro-4-(2'-aminoethylamino)-9-acridinones 13 and 15, is describe
d. Compound 4 was used as starting material for the preparation of 10-
alkyl-9-acridinone dimers 6, bridged with an alpha,omega-diamido chain
. Compound 15 was selected for biological investigations on pathogenic
parasite strains, and a promising antiamoebic activity could be shown
.
