Includes bibliographical references. Chloroquine(CO)-derived 4-aminoquinolines have proven to be the most efficacious antimalarial drugs for both the treatment and prophylaxis of malaria. However, with the advent of drug resistance, their ability to treat the disease has been significantly hindered. Future research into the synthesis of new 4-aminoquinoline derivatives is warranted, since it has been found that the resistance is based on the identity of the side chain and not on the aminoquinoline ring, the functionality by which these compounds derive their activity. Consequently, the synthesis of CO derivatives with a modified side chain attached to a substituted quinoline ring is a reasonable approach in the search of novel antimalarial compounds that are active against drug-resistant parasite strains. 2014-08-13T14:25:31Z 2014-08-13T14:25:31Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6283 eng application/pdf Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
