Abstract
In the present communication, newly synthesized 8-quinolinamines (25–27) related to previously reported 2-tert-butylprimaquine (2) were evaluated for their in vitro antimalarial activity against chloroquine sensitive and resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains, in vivo antimalarial activity against P. berghei infected mice, in vitro antileishmanial activity against Leishmania donovani, in vitro antimicrobial activity against various fungi and bacteria, and cytotoxicity in a panel of mammalian cell lines. No promising cytotoxicities were observed for compounds reported herein. Analogue 25 was found to exhibit curative antimalarial activity at a dose of 25mg/kg/day×4 in a P. berghei infected mice model, and produced suppressive activity at a lower dose of 10mg/kg/day×4. In vitro antileishmanial activities (IC50 and IC90) comparable to standard drug pentamidine were exhibited by all synthesized 8-quinolinamines 25–27. At the same time, promising antibacterial and antifungal activities were also observed for synthesized compounds against a panel consisting of several bacteria and fungi.
