issue, the corresponding racemic compound, derived from synthetic (±)-lupinine was considered a cheaper alternative for the development of a novel antimalarial agent. Therefore, the racemic and the 7-chloro-4-(N-(+)-lupinyl)aminoquinoline ((±)-AM-1; (+)-AM-1) were synthesized and their in vitro antimalarial activity and cytotoxicity compared with those of (−)-AM-1. The (+)-lupinine required for the synthesis
