Abstract:
Nine 2-(substituted styryl)-4-amino, pyridines Ⅲ and three 2-(substituted styryl)-6-methyl-4-amino pyridines IV have been synthesized by condensation of 4-(4'-diethyl amino-1'-methyl amino)-2-methyl (or 2,6-dimethyl)-pyridine-with substituted aryl aldehydes.Preliminary results showed that compounds Ⅲ
2, Ⅲ
4 and Ⅲ
7 exhibited notable antimalarial activity against chloroquine-sensitive strain of
P. berghei in mice at 6.25mg/kg after oral administration. Compound Ⅲ
7 can suppress parasitemia of mice infected with chloroquine-sensitive strain of
P. berghei at 1.8 mg/kg subcutaneously. Among them Ⅲ
7 was the most active.
