Popis: Parthenin and some of its derivatives have been shown to possess significant anti-malarial activity against a multi-drug resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Structure-activity relationships in this series of compounds are discussed and possible mechanisms of action considered. Molecular matching of the oxygen atoms of parthenin and the new anti-malarial drug qinghaosu shows both molecules to be amphipathic with common areas for their oxygen atoms and hydrocarbon frameworks.
