The invention discloses an 8-
aminoquinoline derivative, preparation thereof and application thereof to preparation of anti-
malaria and anti-tumor drugs. In formula (I), R1 refers to phenyl, substituted phenyl, C5-C6 aromatic ring, C1-C10
alkyl, C1-C10 alkoxy or C1-C10 substituted
alkyl, a substituting group of the substituted phenyl refers to methyl,
chlorine,
nitryl,
fluorine or methoxyl, the substituted
alkyl refers to
leucine-5-
azide quinoline, R2 refers to H or methyl, R3 refers to -N3, -NH2 or (formula), and R4 refers to phenyl, C5-C6 aromatic ring or C1-C10 alkyl. The 8-
aminoquinoline derivative and preparation and application thereof have the advantages that simplicity, high efficiency and
rapidity in operation process are achieved, raw materials are easily available, the anti-
malaria activity (IC50<0.1
micrometer) of the 8-
aminoquinoline derivative is improved by more than 6 times than that (IC50=0.64
micrometer) of 8-aminoquinoline, and the anti-tumor activity thereof is improved by more than 10 times than that of 8-aminoquinoline.
