4-substituted 5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine analogues as potential antimalarial agents. 1985

F I Carroll, and B Berrang, and C P Linn

Five 4-substituted 5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine analogues were synthesized and tested for radical curative activity against Plasmodium cynomolgi in Rhesus monkeys and for blood schizonticidal antimalarial activity against Plasmodium berghei in mice. In addition, they were evaluated for causal prophylactic antimalarial activity against Plasmodium berghei yoelii in mice. One compound, 4-ethyl-5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine (2b), showed radical curative activity equivalent to 4-methyl-5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine (2a). A second compound showed radical curative activity slightly less than 2a and 2b; the remaining three compounds were not active against P. cynomolgi. All five compounds showed much higher blood schizonticidal activity and less toxicity than primaquine; however, none of the compounds were as active as 2a. Three of four compounds tested showed high activity against P. berghei yoelii.

D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

D010961 Plasmodium A genus of protozoa that comprise the malaria parasites of mammals. Four species infect humans (although occasional infections with primate malarias may occur). These are PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; PLASMODIUM OVALE, and PLASMODIUM VIVAX. Species causing infection in vertebrates other than man include: PLASMODIUM BERGHEI; PLASMODIUM CHABAUDI; P. vinckei, and PLASMODIUM YOELII in rodents; P. brasilianum, PLASMODIUM CYNOMOLGI; and PLASMODIUM KNOWLESI in monkeys; and PLASMODIUM GALLINACEUM in chickens. Plasmodiums
D011319 Primaquine An aminoquinoline that is given by mouth to produce a radical cure and prevent relapse of vivax and ovale malarias following treatment with a blood schizontocide. It has also been used to prevent transmission of falciparum malaria by those returning to areas where there is a potential for re-introduction of malaria. Adverse effects include anemias and GI disturbances.
