Quinolone-3-Diarylethers: A New Class of Antimalarial Drug

TL;DR: ELQ-300, a 4(1H)-quinolone-3-diarylether, which targets the liver and blood stages, including the forms that are crucial to disease transmission (gametocytes, zygotes, and ookinetes), has potential as a new drug for the treatment, prevention, and, ultimately, eradication of human malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic Tailoring for the Production of Anti-Infective Cytosporones from the Marine Fungus Leucostoma persoonii

TL;DR: A strain of marine fungus is isolated that produces bioactive cytosporones and was active against MRSA with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and inhibition of MRSA biofilm at roughly half that value (minimum biofilm eradication counts, MBEC90, was found to be 39 µM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening mangrove endophytic fungi for antimalarial natural products.

TL;DR: An accelerated discovery program based on small-scale cultivation for crude extract screening and a high-throughput malaria assay and criteria for advancing fractions to purification were developed, including the introduction of a selectivity index and by dereplication of known metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

A potent antimalarial trichothecene from hyphomycete species

TL;DR: A new sesquiterpene, trichothecinol D, was isolation and identification, which exhibited potent in vitro activity against Plasmodium falciparum with a 200-fold selectivity for parasite versus mammalian cytotoxicity.
