Area of Science:

Medicinal Chemistry
Parasitology
Organic Synthesis

Background:

Malaria remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating the development of new antimalarial agents.
1,2,4-triazine derivatives have shown potential as therapeutic agents against various diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize and evaluate novel substituted 1,2,4-triazines as potential antimalarial drugs.
To investigate the structure-activity relationships of these compounds against malaria parasites.

Main Methods:

Synthesis of a series of substituted 1,2,4-triazine compounds.
Antimalarial activity screening using Plasmodium berghei in mice and Plasmodium gallinaceum in chicks.

Main Results:

Compounds 2, 5, and 7 were effective in curing mice infected with Plasmodium berghei.
Compounds 2 (3,5-diamino-6-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazine), 3, 5, 8, 12, and 37 cured chicks infected with Plasmodium gallinaceum.

Conclusions:

The synthesized 1,2,4-triazine derivatives show significant antimalarial activity.
Specific structural features, including phenyl and amino group substitutions, are crucial for antimalarial efficacy.
