Abstract
Sixteen antimalarial alkoxylated and hydroxylated chalcones were tested for their ability to inhibit recombinant plasmepsin II in vitro. The best inhibitory compounds had either a chloro or dimethylamino group at the 4-position of phenyl ring A in the chalcone template. Combination of the chalcones with chloroquine showed additivity or mild antagonism of Plasmodium falciparum K1 growth in culture.
