Abstract: 2-methylfuro[2,3-g]isoquinoline-4,7,9-trione (4) and 2-methylfuro[3,2-g]isoquinoline-4,6,9-trione (5) were prepared regiospecifically from 2-azadiene 9 and bromobenzofuran-4,7-diones 1 or 11. The activity of these two compounds and some other quinonic derivatives was evaluated in vitro against a virulent strain of Toxoplasma gondii. Compounds 4 and 7 were found to be as active as pyrimethamine.
