Fonte, Mélanie; Fontinha, Diana; Moita, Diana; Caño-Prades, Omar; Avalos-Padilla, Yunuen; Fernàndez-Busquets, Xavier; Prudêncio, Miguel; Gomes, PaulaA novel family of 4-aminoacridine derivatives was obtained by linking this heteroaromatic core to different trans-cinnamic acids. The 4-(N-cinnamoylbutyl)aminoacridines obtained exhibited in vitro activity in the low- or sub-micromolar range against (i) hepatic stages of Plasmodium berghei, (ii) erythrocytic forms of Plasmodium falciparum, and (iii) early and mature gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum.
