Chemoprotective antimalarials identified through quantitative high-throughput screening of Plasmodium blood and liver stage parasites

Abstract The spread of Plasmodium falciparum parasites resistant to most first-line antimalarials creates an imperative to enrich the drug discovery pipeline, preferably with curative compounds that can also act prophylactically. We report a phenotypic quantitative high-throughput screen (qHTS), bas...
