  "summary": "Arylamino alcohols constitute an established class of antimalarial agents. While this class is best known for its potent antiplasmodial activity, selected members, most notably mefloquine, have also been reported to exhibit antibacterial activity. Structurally related 3-hydroxypropanamidines were developed as highly potent antimalarial agents. Here, we explored the antibacterial activity of three…",
