The Effect of Some 2-Substituted Quinolines Isolated fromGalipea longifloraonPlasmodium vinckei petteriInfected Mice

Abstract
We have evaluated the in vivo antiplasmodial activity of six 2-substituted quinolines and a total alkaloidal extract of Galipea longiflora. BALB/c mice infected with Plasmodium vinckei petteri were treated orally at single dose of 50 mg/kg with quinolines or extract. Contrary to the previous results obtained with the Leishmania murine infection, 2-n-pentylquinoline showed activity against P. vinckei petteri. This result seems to confirm the antimalarial efficacy of infused stem bark of G. longiflora.
