Synthesis, DNA binding, fluorescence measurements and antiparasitic activity of DAPI related diamidines (Publications)
A novel series of extended DAPI analogues were prepared by insertion of either a carbon-carbon triple bond (16a-d) or a phenyl group (21a, b and 24) at position-2. The new amidines were evaluated in v
Synthesis and antiplasmodial activity of new N-[3-(4-{3-[(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)amino]propyl}piperazin-1-yl)propyl]carboxamides (Publications)
The parallel acylation of N-{3-[4-(3-aminopropyl)piperazin-1-yl]propyl}-7-chloroquinolin-4-amine with polymer-bound carboxylic acids opened straightforward access to novel aminoquinolines with activit
