3-Azido-, 3-amino- and 3-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-beta-lactams were synthesized and evaluated for their antiplasmodial activity against four strains of Plasmodium falciparum and KB cells for their cytotoxicity profiles. The presence of a cyclohexyl substituent at N-1 and a phenyl group on the triazole ring markedly improved the activity profiles of triazole-tethered beta-lactam exhibiting IC(50) values of 1.13, 1.21 and 1.00 mu M against 3D7, K1 and W2 strains respectively.
