Simple 1,2-aminoalcohols as strain-specific antimalarial agents
School of Chemical Sciences, Dublin City University, Dublin 9, Ireland
We report here the in vitro activity of a selection of 1,2-aminoalcohol-containing compounds against cloned strains of human Plasmodium falciparum. These compounds exhibit moderate antimalarial activity but a high degree of strain specificity, preferentially inhibiting a chloroquine-resistant strain of the organism.
