Abstract
Abstract A series of polysubstituted benzofuran derivatives was easily and rapidly prepared using a tandem Sonogashira coupling/cyclization reaction. Subsequent acylation afforded a small library of 39 new compounds that were assayed in cellulo on Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei parasites. Some of them exhibited good inhibitory activity on T. brucei proliferation.
