Abstract:
Triazole tethered 7-chloroquinoline-pyrimidine-5-carboxylate hybrids were synthesized and evaluated for antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine sensitive (CQS) NF54 strain of Plasmodium falciparum. The most active hybrids of the series were further screened against the chloroquine resistant (CQR) Dd2 strain of the parasite and for in vitro cytotoxicity against mammalian Vero cell lines. Further, their physico-chemical properties, binding studies with hemin (monomeric &μ-oxo dimeric) and DNA [pUC-18, calf thymus (CT)] led us to plausible proposed binding mode of the most active member of the present series.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
Synthesis of carbohydrates
Sugar molecules are covalently linked together by dehydration synthesis. During the reaction, the hydroxyl (-OH) group from...
