Abstract

A series of novel artemisinin derivatives were synthesized from artemisinin and different anilines. All compounds were obtained as β-isomers. The target compounds were evaluated for inhibition activity against Plasmodium falciparum falcipain-2 in vitro, and most of them exhibited potent inhibition in the low micromolar range and proved to be new types of falcipain-2 inhibitors.
