Four 2-aryl-4-quinoline(di-n-butylaminomethyl)methanols with Br, Cl, F, or OMe in position 3 were synthesized by modifications of standard reactions. The antimalarial activity decreased with increased size of the 3-substituent. The 3-F-4',6,8-Cl3 compound was the most active (at 2.5 mg/kg) and was completely curative at 80 mg/kg against P. berghei in mice.
