Abstract
We report the structural functionalization of the terminal amino group of N1‐(7‐chloroquinolin‐4‐yl) butane‐1,4‐diamine, leading to a series of 7‐chloro‐4‐aminoquinoline derivatives, and their evaluation as potent anti‐malarial and anti‐viral agents. Some compounds exhibited promising anti‐malarial effects against the Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 (chloroquine‐sensitive) and Dd2 (chloroquine‐resistant) strains. In addition, these compounds were assayed in vitro against influenza A virus (IAV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). Compound 5 h, bearing an N‐mesityl thiourea group, displayed pronounced anti‐infectious effects against malaria, IAV, and SARS‐CoV‐2. These results provide new insights into drug discovery for the prevention or treatment of malaria and virus co‐infection.
