Inhibitors of the <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> Hsp90 towards Selective Antimalarial Drug Design: The Past, Present and Future

Malaria is still one of the major killer parasitic diseases in tropical settings, posing a public health threat. The development of antimalarial drug resistance is reversing the gains made in attempts to control the disease. The parasite leads a complex life cycle that has adapted to outwit almost a...
