The synthesis of potential antimalarials; derivatives of α, γ-dihydroxy-β, β-dimethyl-N-ethylbutyramide

Abstract

In 1943 it became known (1) that pantoyltaurylamide (SN 3279) showed antimalarial activity when administered intravenously to chicks infected with Plasmodium gallinaceum. When subsequently phenyl pantothenone (I) (SN 12610), prepared by Woolley and Collyer (2), was tested and shown to possess activity when given orally, it was decided to examine compounds which might be regarded as sulfur analogues of I. Accordingly l-pantolactone was condensed with a series of amines to give the five derivatives of butyramide II to VI.
