Abstract : A new derivative 1 has been synthesized by dimerization of radical cations from 4-[3’- diethyl amino methyl-4’-hydroxyanilino]-7-Chloroquinolin known as amodiaquin. The synthesized compound has been characterized using proton, carbon-13, 2D-COSY, 2D-HSQC Nuclear Magnetic Resonance data and by Mass spectrometry. The evaluation of its in vivo antiplasmodial activities above The NMRI mouses shows that the derivative 1 is most active than its analogue amodiaquin. The derivative 1 shows a parasitemia rate of 0.20% against Plasmodium bergei administered to the NMRI mouses, whereas the parasitemia rate of amodiaquin amount to 47% under the same conditions. This higher activity of the derivative 1 confirms the pharmacophore character of the chloroquinolin part in the antiplasmodial activity.

Keywords : Amodiaquin, New derivative, higher in vivo antiplasmodial activities
