We present the design, synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of new ferrocenyl and ruthenocenyl derivatives of the organic antimalarial mefloquine, a drug also known for its antischistosomal activity. The two metallocenyl derivatives prepared ( 3 and 4 ) demonstrated comparable activity to mefloquine against adult-stage Schistosoma mansoni in vitro . Importantly, both compounds were found to have lower toxicity in all cell lines than mefloquine itself. Administration of a 200 mg kg -1 oral dose of 3 and 4 to S. mansoni -infected mice did not significantly reduce worm burden, contrary to mefloquine.
