Abstract:
New Baylis–Hillman adducts are synthesized based on substituted 2-chloronicotinaldehydes and screened for their in vitro anti-malarial activity against chloroquine sensitive and chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum. Out of the six new compounds synthesized and screened, 2b, 2c and 2d compounds showed substantial anti-malarial activity.
