DEVELOPMENT OF A CONTINUOUS ASSAY FOR HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING TO IDENTIFY INHIBITORS OF THE PURINE SALVAGE PATHWAY IN PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM

Development of a continuous assay for high throughput screening to identify inhibitors of the purine salvage pathway in Plasmodium falciparum

Malaria, an infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites from the genus Plasmodium, represents a serious global health threat.The continued emergence of drug resistant strains has severely decreased current antimalarial drug efficacy and led to a perpetual race for drug discovery.Most protozoan parasites, including Plasmodium spp., are unable t

Differential Affinity Chromatography Coupled to Mass Spectrometry: A Suitable Tool to Identify Common Binding Proteins of a Broad-Range Antimicrobial Peptide Derived from Leucinostatin

Leucinostatins are antimicrobial peptides with a broad range of activities against infectious agents as well as mammalian cells.The leucinostatin-derivative peptide ZHAWOC_6027 (peptide 6027) was tested in vitro and in vivo for activity against the intracellular apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii.While highly efficacious in vitro (EC50 = 2 nM)
