Malaria is a tropical parasitic disease threatening populations in tropical and sub-tropical areas. Resistance to antimalarial drugs has spread all over the world in the past 50 years, thus new drugs are urgently needed. Plasmodione (benzylmenadione series) has been identified as a potent antimalarial early lead drug, acting through a redox bioactivation on asexual and young sexual blood stages. To investigate its metabolism, a series of plasmodione-based tools, including a fully 13C-labelled lead drug and putative metabolites, have been designed and synthesized for drug metabolism investigation. Furthermore, with the help of UHPLC-MS/MS, two of the drug metabolites have been identified from urine of drug-treated mice.

The synthesis of substituted polyaromatic compounds that contain at least four benzene rings fused together in an angular fashion is described. Suzuki coupling of 1-bromo-3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde with a number of aromatic boronic acids affords products such as 1-(1,4-dimethoxy-3-methyl-2-naphthyl)-3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde. Exposure of these dihydronaphthalenes to potassium tert-butoxide and DMF at 80°C yields polyaromatic compounds such as 9,14-dimethoxynaphtho[1,2-a]anthracene.
