a mammalian cell line (L6). One example showed no significant activity against a rodent model of malaria, and more work is needed to optimise these compounds
Modifications and hybrids of 1,2,3,4‑tetrahydropyridinium salts and their antiprotozoal potencies (Publications)
were investigated for their activity against Plasmodium falciparum NF54, a causative organism of Malaria tropica and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the causative organism of Human African Trypanosomiasis

Antiplasmodial activity of a series of 1,3,5-triazine-substituted polyamines (Publications)
some parasitic protozoa and it is proposed that the pathway might also represent a target in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. A series of 1,3,5-triazine-substituted polyamine analogues were tested
Heterochromatin silencing and locus repositioning linked to regulation of virulence genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum undergoes antigenic variation to evade host immune responses through switching expression of variant surface proteins encoded by the var gene family. We demonstrate

Heavy S. haematobium infections, microhematuria and macrohematuria, and the incidence of malaria parasitemia were all significantly lower in artemether recipients. In conclusion, previous findings
Identification of oleamide in <em>Guatteria</em> recurvisepala by LC/MS-Based <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> thioredoxin reductase ligand binding... (Publications)
current research on applications of mass spectrometry to natural product drug discovery against malaria aims to screen plant extracts for new ligands to PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM thioredoxin reductase ( PFTrxR) [...] regulation of the parasite and is validated as a promising target for therapeutic intervention against malaria. In the present study, detannified methanol extracts from GUATTERIA RECURVISEPALA, LICANIA KALLUNKIAE
