Abstract
A series of trisubstituted 1,10‐phenanthrolines was prepared. These compounds exhibited mild to high biological activities in vitro both toward chloroquino‐resistant FcB1‐Columbia and FcM29‐Cameron strains and Nigerian chloroquino‐sensitive strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Cytotoxicity of the most active compounds was estimated showing that one compound (10) exhibited a selective activity against malaria parasite (selectivity indexes of 52 and 144). Antiplasmodial activity of this derivative was optimized by N‐10 alkylation and the phenanthrolinium salt (15) submitted to an in vivo study using mices infected by P. vinckei petteri showing an ED~50~ of 7.86 mg/kg/day.
