We describe the design, synthesis, and antimalarial activity of 60 bis-tertiary amine, bis-2(1 H)-imino-heterocycle, bis-amidine, and bis-guanidine series. Bis-tertiary amines with a linker from 12 to 16 methylene groups were active against the in vitro growth of Plasmodium falciparum within the 10 (-6)-10 (-7) M concentration range. IC 50 decreased by 2 orders of magnitude for bis-2-aminopyridinium salts, bis-amidines, and bis-guanidines (27 compounds with IC 50
