cpd chemical name syn comment
4-amino quinoline erythrocytic form of most malarial parasite *inactive # exoerythrocytic form (liver
1-chloroquine phosphate 7-chloro-4[4-(diethylamino)-1-methylbutyl] amino quinoline phosphate   *no effect on liver form
2-Amodiaquine HCl 4-[(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl)amino]-2-[(diethylamino)methyl]-phenol dihydrochloride dihydrate   *similar to chloroquine *3-4 times as active as quinine
3-Sontoquine 7-chloro-4[4-(diethylamino)-1-methylbutyl] amino 3-methyl quinoline   similat to chloroquine
4-hydroxychloroquine sulfate 2-[[4[7-chloro-4-quinolyl)amino]pentyl]ethylamino]ethanol sulfate (1:1)   *antimalarial + ttt of rheumatoid arthritis
8-aminoquinolines *more toxic *active # exoerythrocytic forms not erythrocytic
1-pamaquine      
2-primaquine 8-[(4-amino-1-methylbutyl)-amino]6-methoxyquinoline phosphate 2 pathways *most active drug :kill exo forms of vivax ,falciparum ,malaria,oval & 2ry exo forms of all except falciparum *no effect on erythro forms so must be used in combinatn therapy
9-Amino acridines
Quinacrine HCl 6-chloro-9-[[4-(diethylamino)-1-methylbutyl] amino]2-methoxyacridine dihydrochloride *same mech of action of quinoline (DNA intercalation ) due to str similarity *effective on erythrocytic *more toxic & less effective than chloroquine *used also in giardiasis , amoebiasis ,tap worms
Guanidine & biduanides str similarity to pteridine moity of folic acid
chloroquanide HCl (proguanil HCl) 1-(p-chlorophenyl)-5-isopropylbiguanide HCl *it self >not active w id metab to dihydro-s-triazine w has str similarity to pteridine moiety of folic acid v *its metabolite is potent DHFR inhibitor *used for both types of malaria *** SAR : 1-subst of halogen on para position of phenyl ring > increase activity 2-chlorine in chloroguanide but bromine >very active 3-second chlorine added to 3 position >enhance activity but more toxic  4-dichloro cpd is more toxic
Cycloguanil pamoate 4,6-diamino-1(p-chlorophenyl) 1,2-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl s-triazine   *the active metabolite *usu not used itself
pyrimidine analogues act on DHFR similary e pteridine ring of DHFA & directly resp for redn of DHFA >THFA  *effective on exo (vivax) & erythro forms (falciparum)
1-pyrimethamine 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-ethyl-1,2,4-pyrimidinediamine ********not****** *potent DHFR inhibitor >block syn of THFA w is ess for purine & pyrimidine syn ,DNA **used in conjugation e sulfadoxine as antimalaria (w act on DH pteroate synthetase)  SAR :1-e withdrawing gp in position 6 is ess for activity 2-p-chloro phenyl at position 5 >ess for activity 3-if separatn phenyl ring & pyrimidine ring by C or O > decrease activity *** it is selective parasitic
2-Trimethoprim 2,4-diamino-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxy benzyl) pyrimidine syn >not imp *used in combinatn e sulfonamides *more selective to bacteria & not selective to parasite DHFR
sulfones & sulfonamides exhibit prophylactic activity # resistant p.falciparum
Dapsone 4,4'-sulfonylbis benzene amine   combinatn e pyrimethamine & antimalarial combinatn for ttt of chloroquine resistant P.falciparum
Quinine (cinchona alkaloids) 6-methoxycinchonan-9-ol sulfate (not imp)    
miscellaneous (( Mefloquine) DL-erythro-d-2-piperidyl-2,8-bis(trifluro methyl)-4-quinoline methanol   *racemic mix DL *very active # erythrocytic forms of chloroquine resistant malaria (p.falciparum)
