The aim of this study was to synthesize a series of ferrocenyl 4-aminoquinolines and to evaluate their activities against Plasmodium falciparum F32 (chloroquine-sensitive) and FCB1 and K1 (chloroquino-resistant). Some of the ferrocenyl compounds exhibited in vitro antiplasmodial activity in the nM range. In particular, (1R,4R)-N1-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N4-(ferrocenylmethyl)-N4-methylcyclohexane-1,4-diamine 17 presented the lowest IC50 value (26 nM) against CQ-resistant strains.
