New ferrocenic pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline derivatives: Synthesis, and in vitro antimalarial activity - Part II

► A strategy was proposed for the development of organometallic antimalarial drugs. ► New series of substituted ferrocenylpyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines were designed. ► Compounds were tested for their in vitro activity upon Plasmodium falciparum strains. ► Promising pharmacological results against FcB1, K1 and F32 strains were obtained.
