Xanthene derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their potential as trypanothionereductase (TryR) inhibitors and chloroquine (CQ) potentiating agents. Some derivatives displayed inhibitory activity against TryR comparable to known tricyclic anti-depressants. On the other hand a number of derivatives increased CQ accumulation and potentiating effects in a resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum
