Novel hybrids of quinoline with pyrazolylchalcones as potential antimalarial agents: Synthesis, biological evaluation, molecular docking and ADME prediction.

A novel series of pyrazolyl chalcones containing quinoline scaffold, 5 a-v has been synthesized by Claisen Schimdt condensation of aromatic acetophenone with 1-(4-methylquinolin-2-yl)-3-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde in quantitative yield. The compounds were characterized using IR, NMR, MS and elemental analysis. An E-configuration about CC ethylenic bond was determined using H NMR spectroscopy.

Pyrazole Schiff Base Hybrids as Anti-Malarial Agents: Synthesis, In Vitro Screening and Computational Study.

Background: Malaria is one of the most vital infectious diseases caused by protozoan parasites of the Plasmodium genus. As P. falciparum, the cause of most of the severe cases of malaria, is increasingly resistant to available drugs such as amodioquine, chloroquine, artemisinin, and antifolates, there is an urgent need to identify new targets for chemotherapy.

A comprehensive review on synthetic approach for antimalarial agents.

Malaria has emerged as a major health problem worldwide after the appearance of resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum to the most of antimalarial drugs. The development of resistance by the parasite against first line as well as second line antimalarial drugs has drawn attention to develop new drugs to alleviate the disease burden. Therefore, there is a great need for new antimalarial drugs with improved attributes over older therapies.
