Based on the idea that compounds designed to exhibit high affinity for heme would block hemozoin formation, a critical heme-detoxification process for malarial parasites, we synthesized a series of compounds with two π-conjugated moieties at terminal amino groups of triamine. These compounds exhibited moderate to high antimalarial activities <i>in vitro</i> toward both chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>. In a <i>P. berghei</i>-infected mouse model, <b>3a ...[more]
