A series of noncytotoxic 4-aminoquinoline-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one hybrids were synthesized on the basis of a synergistic in vitro combination of a precursor N-alkyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one with chloroquine (CQ) and tested in vitro against CO resistant (K1 and W2). an sensitive (3D7) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. In vitro antiplasmodial activity of the precursors was negated by blocking the chelator moiety Via complexation with gallium(III) or benzyl protection. None of the precursors inhibited beta-hematin formation. Most hybrids were more potent inhibitors of beta-hematin formation than CQ and a correlation between antiplasmodial activity and inhibition of beta-hematin formation was observed. Potent hybrids against K1, 3D7, and W2, respectively, were 8c (0.13, 0.004, and 0.1 mu M); 8d (0.08, 0.01, and 0.02 mu M); and 7g (0.07, 0.03, and 0.08 mu M).
