We report the synthesis, in vitro antiprotozoal (against Plasmodium and Leishmania), antimicrobial, cytotoxicity (Vero and MetHb-producing properties), and in vivo antimalarial activities of two series of 8-quinolinamines. N1-{4-[2-(tert-Butyl)-6-methoxy-8-quinolylamino]pentyl}-(2S/2R)-2-aminosubstitutedamides (21-33) and N1-[4-(4-ethyl-6-methoxy-5-pentyloxy-8-quinolylamino)pentyl]-(2S/2R)-2-aminosubstitutedamides (51-63) were synthesized in six steps from 6-methoxy-8-nitroquinoline and 4-methoxy-2-nitro-5-pentyloxyaniline, respectively. Several analogs displayed promising antimalarial activity in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum D6 (chloroquine-sensitive) and W2 (chloroquine-resistant) clones with high selectivity indices versus mammalian cells. The most promising analogs (21-24) also displayed potent antimalarial activity in vivo in a Plasmodium berghei-infected mouse model. Most interestingly, many analogs exhibited promising in vitro antileishmanial activity against Leishmania donovani promastigotes, and antimicrobial activities against a panel of pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Several analogs, notably 21-24, 26-32, and 60, showed less MetHb formation compared to primaquine indicating the potential of these compounds in 8-quinolinamine-based antimalarial drug development.

The present invention is concerned with the development of novel 8-aminoquinoline analogs in the treatment and prevention of malaria and the said compound has broad spectrum of activity against the blood as well as tissue stages of the human malaria parasites makes these compounds very attractive in the cure and prevention of malaria caused by drug-sensitive and multidrug resistant strains and also it is expected that development of these compounds as ideal antimalarial agents may lead to suppression as well as radical cure of the malaria infection with single drug therapy.

To eliminate an unwarranted metabolic pathway of the quinoline ring, a set of two compounds, where C-2 position of the antimalarial drug primaquine is blocked by metabolically stable bulky alkyl group are synthesized. Compound 2 [R = C(CH3)3] of the series has produced excellent antimalarial efficacy against P. berghei and highly virulent multidrug-resistant P. yoelii nigeriensis strain in vivo. Compound 2 was also evaluated for methemoglobin (MetHb) toxicity. This study describes the discovery of a highly potent blood-schizontocidal antimalarial analogue 2, completely devoid of MetHb toxicity.
