Antimalarial activity of primaquine operates via a two-step biochemical relay

Primaquine (PQ) is a widely used anti-malaria drug, but its mechanism of action is unclear. Here, Camarda et al. show that PQ’s activity against liver and sexual Plasmodium stages depends on generation of hydroxylated-PQ metabolites (OH-PQm), which, undergoing further reactions, results in productio...
