Improvement in the treatment of malaria has been demonstrated with 5-[(aryl)alkoxy] primaquine compounds and 5[(heterocycle)alkoxy] primaquine compounds. These primaquine related compounds are effective in malarial chemotherapy. The 5-arylalkoxy primaquine compounds of the invention are at least as effective in malarial treatment as the prior are 5-alkoxy primaquine compounds, but are not as toxic as the 5-alkoxy compounds at higher dosage ranges. The 5[(heterocycle)alkoxy] primaquine compounds show less toxicity than primaquine in blood schizonticidal studies and are comparable to the 5-arylalkoxy primaquine compounds in efficacy.
