Potent antimalarials with development potential identified by structure-guided computational optimization of a pyrrole-based dihydroorotate... (Publications)
DHODH inhibitors have great potential for use in prophylaxis, which represents an unmet need in the malaria drug discovery portfolio for endemic countries, particularly in areas of high transmission in Africa
Limited polymorphism in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> sexual-stage antigens (Publications)
In areas highly endemic for malaria, individuals are frequently found to be infected simultaneously with multiple Plasmodium falciparum clones. This raises the question of whether all parasite clones produce
Trypanocidal activity of diarylheptanoids from <em>Schrankia leptocarpa</em> DC (Publications)
Schrankia leptocara is a medicinal species use traditionally in Benin to treat malaria. A previous study showed interesting antimalarial activity against two strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Phytochemical
Analogues of thiolactomycin as potential antimalarial agents (Publications)
fatty acid synthase, were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Alkylation of the C4 hydroxyl group led to the most significant increase
Decreased in vitro susceptibility of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> isolates to artesunate, mefloquine, chloroquine, and quinine in Cambodia from 2001... (Publications)
from patients enrolled in therapeutic efficacy studies (TES) conducted by the Cambodian National Malaria Control Program for the routine efficacy monitoring of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT)
Conformational aspects in the design of inhibitors for serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT): biphenyl, aryl sulfonamide, and aryl sulfone motifs (Publications)
Malaria remains a major threat to mankind due to the perpetual emergence of resistance against marketed drugs. Twenty-one pyrazolopyran-based inhibitors bearing terminal biphenyl, aryl sulfonamide, or
Status of insecticide resistance in Papua New Guinea: an update from nation-wide monitoring of anopheles mosquitoes (Publications)
distribution of insecticide-treated nets. Here, we provide an update on phenotypic IR in four highly malaria-endemic areas of PNG. IR against deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
Synthesis and in vitro and in vivo evaluation of antimalarial polyamines (Publications)

Identification of a new chemical class of antimalarials (Publications)
The increasing spread of drug-resistant malaria strains underscores the need for new antimalarial agents with novel modes of action (MOAs). Here, we describe a compound representative of a new class of
