New acyl derivatives of 3-aminofurazanes and their antiplasmodial activities (Publications)
An N-acylated furazan-3-amine of a Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) project has shown activity against different strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Seventeen new derivatives were prepared and tested

structurally diverse starting points for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of malaria are urgently needed. Thus, a series of 20 adenosine derivatives with a large lipophilic substituent
Genesis of and trafficking to the Maurer's clefts of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected erythrocytes (Publications)
Malaria parasites export proteins beyond their own plasma membrane to locations in the red blood cells in which they reside. Maurer's clefts are parasite-derived structures within the host cell cytoplasm
