Abstract

With an aim to identify a dispiro-1,2,4-trioxolane with high oral activity and good physicochemical properties, 27 derivatives of an achiral piperidine trioxolane were synthesized; most were potent antimalarial peroxides with IC50s ranging from 0.20 to 7.0 ng/mL. The oral efficacies of two of these were superior to artesunate and comparable to artemether. The attractive chemical simplicity of these compounds is balanced only by an apparent metabolic susceptibility.
