Carbohydrate-metallocene-antimalarial conjugates

摘要

An antimalarial conjugate according to a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention may include a metallocene, a carbohydrate, and an antimalarial agent. The metallocene may include two cyclopentadienyl rings bound to a central metal atom. The carbohydrate and the antimalarial agent may be appended to at least one of the cyclopentadienyl rings of the metallocene, wherein the antimalarial agent has therapeutic properties directed to treating and/or preventing malaria. The metallocene may be ferrocene, the carbohydrate may be glucose, and the antimalarial agent may be chloroquine.
