Abstract

Using the Gould-Jacobs methodology a small array of 6- and 7-substituted quinolones have been prepared. Analogues in the 7-series express activity as low as 0.46 nM versus Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites and docking studies performed in silico at the yeast Qo site demonstrate a key role for residues His182 and Glu 272 in the recognition of high potency inhibitors.
