Method: The Chalcones were tested its anti plasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum (3D7 strain) by using candle jar method, introduced by Trager and Jensen (1976). Result and Discussion: The tested compounds gave IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) ranged between 0.242 and > 100 μg/ml. Conclusion: All compounds have lower antimalarial activity than commercially standard antimalarial drug, Chloroquine diphosphate.
