Target-Guided Synthesis and Antiplasmodial Evaluation of a New Fluorinated 3-Alkylpyridine Marine Alkaloid Analog.

The need to develop new alternatives for antimalarial treatment is urgent. Herein, we report the synthesis and antimalarial evaluation of a small library of synthetic 3-alkylpyridine marine alkaloid (3-APA) analogs. First, the compounds were evaluated in vitro against .

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 3-alkylpyridine marine alkaloid analogs with promising anticancer activity.

Cancer continues to be one of the most important health problems worldwide, and the identification of novel drugs and treatments to address this disease is urgent. During recent years, marine organisms have proven to be a promising source of new compounds with action against tumoral cell lines. Here, we describe the synthesis and anticancer activity of eight new 3-alkylpyridine alkaloid (3-APA) analogs in four steps and with good yields.
