Prodiginines are a family of linear and cyclic oligopyrrole red-pigmented compounds. Herein we describe the in vitro antimalarial activity of four natural (IC50 = 1.7–8.0 nM) and three sets of synthetic prodiginines against Plasmodium falciparum. Set 1 compounds replaced the terminal nonalkylated pyrrole ring of natural prodiginines and had diminished activity (IC50 > 2920 nM). Set 2 and set 3 prodiginines
