Six new 2- and 8-trifluoromethyl- and 2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl
ketones were synthesised and evaluated for in vitro antimalarial activity.
The ketones were prepared by condensation of the corresponding quinoline-4
-carboxylic acids with pyrimidin-5-yllithium or [(1-ethyl-5-nitro-1H-imidaz
ol-4-yl)methyl]lithium. The new compounds showed slight in vitro antimalari
al activity against the chloroquine-sensitive strain of Plasmodium falcipar
um.
