Fourteen ferrocenyl aminohydroxynaphthoquinones, analogues of atovaquone, were synthesized from the hydroxynaphthoquinone core. These novel atovaquone derivatives were tested for their in vitro activity against two apicomplexan parasites of medical importance, Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falcip...
