Abstract :
Solution-phase synthesis and evaluation of a library of 31 sulfonamides as inhibitors of a chloroquine-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum are described. The most potent compound displayed an activity 100-fold better than chloroquine. Experiments using a fluorescent sulfonamide derivative suggest that their site of action inside the parasite is different to that of chloroquine.
