Abstract
The synthesis and biological testing of some phloroglucinol-derived trisulfonates and sulfonate methyl ethers has established that the tritosylate 12 is a good in vitro antimalarial agent and that the dinosylate methyl ether 19 is a superior agent for inhibiting human skin cancer cell lines.
