Cover Feature: Antimalarial Agents Derived from Metal‐Amodiaquine Complexes with Activity in Multiple Stages of the Plasmodium Life Cycle (Chem. Eur. J. 55/2023)

Meet to defeat: A strategic round-table meeting has been convened between inorganic chemistry and pharmacology to tackle malaria, one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. As a result, metals have been deliberately conjugated with the antimalarial quinoline Amodiaquine. These metal–amodiaquine complexes have overcome the limitations of metal-free quinolines, and light has been shed on their potential as a chemical tool for designing new drugs against malaria and other infectious diseases susceptible to quinoline treatment.
