BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Malaria, endemic in many parts of the tropical countries, with approximately 300-500 million
episodes of clinical infection and nearly 2 million deaths per year worldwide, is a serious health problem. The rapid emergence of resistance by Plasmodium falciparum to existing therapies has added new dimensions to this problem. Against this background discovery of artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone Endoperoxide, isolated from the Chinese traditional herbal remedy against malaria, Artemisia annua, has been a welcome development in the chemotherapy of malaria. Some of the semisynthetic derivatives of artemisinin e.g. artemether, arteether and artesunic acid are more active than artemisinin and are currently being used clinically. These drugs are effective against both cholroquin sensitive and chloroquine resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum.

The limited availability of artemisinin from natural sources and the realization that 1,2,4-trioxane
is the pharmacophore for the antimalarial activity of artemisinin and its analogues, has inspired major
efforts towards the preparation and bioevaluation of structurally simple synthetic 1,2,4-trioxanes. As
a result of these efforts, a number of methodologies have been developed by various workers for the
preparation of 1,2,4-trioxanes . Several of these synthetic trioxanes
have shown promising antimalarial activities both in vitro and in vivo [(a) Peters, W.; Robinson, B. L.; Tovey, G.; Rossier, J. C.; Jefford, C. W. Ann. Trap. Med. Parasitol. 1993, 87, 1-7.

The antimalarial activity of the test compounds were evaluated in rodent using multi-drug resistant
strain of Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis in Swiss mice.
Random bred Swiss mice of either sex (20 + 2 g) were inoculated intraperitoneally with 1 x 10s P. yoelii (MDR) parasites on day zero. The treatment with test compounds were administered to group of 5 mice at different dose levels ranging between 48-96 mg/kg/day. The treatment was administered via intramuscular route for 4 consecutive days (day 0-3).
Blood smears from the experimental mice were observed on day 4, 7 and day 10, and thereafter at regular intervals till day 28 or death of the animal. The parasitaemia level on day 4 was compared with vehicle control group and the percent suppression of parasitaemia in treated groups was calculated.
For determining the curative dose of a compound the treated mice were observed till day 28. The dose at which no parasitaemia develop during the observation period has been reported as the curative dose. The biological efficacy data is summarized in Table 3.

In vivo test procedure: The colony of bred Swiss mice (25 ± Ig) were inoculated with 1 X 106 parasitized RBC on day zero and treatment was administered to a group of five mice at each dose, from day 0 to 3, in two divided doses daily. The drug dilutions of compounds of general formula 8 were prepared in groundnut oil so as to contain the required amount of the compound (1.2 mg for a dose of 96 mg/kg, 0.6 mg for a dose of 48 mg/kg) in 0.1 ml and administered orally/intramuscularly for each dose. Parasitaemia level were recorded from thin blood smears between day 4-28. The trea ed mice surviving beyond day 28 were recorded as the mice protected by the drug.
