An intramolecular steroidal 1,2,4,5-tetraoxane has been synthesised in six steps starting from methyl 3-oxo-7α. 12α-diacetoxy-5β-cholan-24-oate. The synthesised 1,2,4,5-tetraoxane has moderate in vitro antimalarial activity against P. falciparum strains (IC50 (D6) = 0.35 μg/mL: IC50 (W2) = 0.29 μg/mL).
