In vitro antiplasmodial efficacy of synthetic coumarin-triazole analogs.

Twenty two diverse coumarin-triazole derivatives were synthesized by alkylation of 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-coumarin followed by click chemistry at 7-position. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine sensitive strain of Plasmodium falciparum (3D7). Compound 9 (7-[1-(2, 4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-1H- [1-3] triazol-4-ylmethoxy]-4-methyl-chromen-2-one) was found most active with IC value 0.
