Quan Le Tran,Yasuhiro Tezuka,Jun-ya Ueda,Nhan Trung Nguyen,Yukiko Maruyama,Khurshida Begum,Hye-Sook Kim,Yusuke Wataya,Qui Kim Tran,Shigetoshi Kadota +9 more
TL;DR: Among 42 extracts, prepared from 14 medicinal plants used in Vietnamese traditional medicine to treat malaria, 24 extracts had antiplasmodial activity by inhibiting the growth of the chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparumstrain FCR-3 with EC50 values less than 10g/ml.

Synthetic methods for unsymmetrically-substituted 1,2,4,5-tetroxanes and of 1,2,4,5,7-pentoxocanes
Hye‐Sook Kim,Kaoru Tsuchiya,Yasuharu Shibata,Yusuke Wataya,Yoshihiro Ushigoe,Araki Masuyama,Masatomo Nojima,Kevin J. McCullough +7 more
TL;DR: Ozonolysis of vinyl ethers in the presence of hydrogen peroxide in diethyl ether gave the corresponding 1,1-bis(hydroperoxide)s 2a-c. Subsequent trimethylsilylation, followed by the TMSOTf-catalyzed cyclocondensation with carbonyl compounds gave the unsymmetrically-substituted 1,2,4,5-tetroxanes 5−14 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
1,2,4,5-Tetraoxacycloalkanes: synthesis and antimalarial activity.
TL;DR: In this short review the methods of preparation of novel 1,2,4,5-tetraoxacycloalkanes and the related peroxides are summarized, with the emphasis on the usefulness of 1,1-bishydroperoxides as the precursor.
Patent
Febrifugine and isofebrifugine and processes for the preparation of both
TL;DR: Febrifugine represented by formula (A) and isofebrifuge represented by a formula (B), having extremely potent activity on Plasmodium falciparum; and total synthesis routes permitting efficient mass production of both.
