Abstract

Endoperoxides are a class of compounds, which is well-known for their antimalarial properties, but few reports exist about 3,5-disubstituted 1,2-dioxolanes. After having designed a new synthetic route for the preparation of these substances, they were evaluated against 4 different agents of infectious diseases, protozoa (Plasmodium and Leishmania) and Fungi (Candida and Aspergillus). Whereas moderate antifungal activity was found for our products, potent antimalarial and antileishmanial activities were observed for a few compounds. The nature of the substituents linked to the endoperoxide ring seems to play an important role in the bioactivities.
