Abstract

Abstract Structure-activity relationships have been ascertained and chemical methodology developed for a series of antimalarial 3-chloroindolo [3, 2-c] quinoline-5-oxides. The basic side chain as well as the ring N-oxide are critical for antimalarial activity as is a bromine or chlorine in position 3. Substitution at positions 7, 8, 9, 10 is not essential, although the most potent analog in our studies was the 8-nitro compound 4vv.
