Recent developments in the design and synthesis of hybrid molecules based on aminoquinoline ring and their antiplasmodial evaluation

A short history of hybrid molecules based on aminoquinolines gave interesting and important information useful for organic and medicinal chemistry, which are deeply involved in the design and development of new antimalarial agents. The highlights in the preparation of aminoquinoline antimalarials, their protocols and antiplasmodial activity and, specially, the development on hybridization approaches are represented.
