A new method for the synthesis of praziquantel enantiomers via resolution of praziquanamine with (S)-(+)-naproxen was developed. The four 4鈥?hydroxy derivatives were obtained through each single praziquanamine enantiomer, coupling with cis- and trans-4-(benzyloxy)cyclohexanecarboxylic acids and subsequent hydrogenolysis for the deprotection of the 4鈥?OH cyclohexane residue. Additionally, the in vitro cysticidal activity of the compounds was tested, finding that (R)-(鈭?-praziquantel is the eutomer.
