Abstract

Thirty-three N-acyl 1,2,4-dispiro tioxolanes (secondary ozonides) were synthesised. For these ozonides, weak base function groups were not required for high antimalarial potency against plasmodium falciparum in vitro, but were necessary for high antimalarial efficacy in plasmodium berghei-infected mice. A wide range of Log p/d ph7.4 values were tolerated, although more liophilic ozonides tended to be less metabolically stable.
