Novel nucleoside-based antimalarial compounds (Publications)
The malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs a salvage pathway for the biosynthesis of nucleotides, in contrast to de novo biosynthesis that is utilized by the human host. A series of twenty-two

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
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
