Journal ArticleDOI

A novel multiple-stage antimalarial agent that inhibits protein synthesis

TL;DR: DDD107498 was developed from a screening programme against blood-stage malaria parasites and its molecular target has been identified as translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2), which is responsible for the GTP-dependent translocation of the ribosome along messenger RNA, and is essential for protein synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A long-duration dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitor (DSM265) for prevention and treatment of malaria

TL;DR: DSM265, a triazolopyrimidine-based inhibitor of the pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), is the first DHODH inhibitor to reach clinical development for treatment of malaria as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

(+)-SJ733, a clinical candidate for malaria that acts through ATP4 to induce rapid host-mediated clearance of Plasmodium

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that targeting ATP4 has great potential to deliver useful drugs for malaria eradication and suggest that inhibitors of PfATP4 have highly attractive features for fast-acting antimalarials to be used in the global eradication campaign.
