Cycloguanil is a

Malarone), cycloguanil is in fact antagonistic to the effects of atovaquone, suggesting that, unlike cycloguanil, proguanil may have an alternative mechanism of antimalarial action besides dihydrofolate reductase inhibition.[3]

Although cycloguanil is not currently in general use as an antimalarial, the continuing development of resistance to current antimalarial drugs has led to renewed interest in studying the use of cycloguanil in combination with other drugs.[4]

Synthesis

Synthesis:[5][6][7][8][9] Patents:[10][11]

The reaction between 4-chloroaniline [106-47-8] (1) and

dicyandiamide
(aka 2-cyanoguanidine) [461-58-5 ] (2) gives 4-chlorophenylbiguanide [5304-59-6] (3). The condensation of this immediately with acetone to form the aminal cycloguanil (4).
