Anti-malarial compounds that target the cytostomal endocytic pathway
Objectives
To identify anti-malarial compounds from the Malaria Box that function as inhibitors of the cytostomal endocytic pathway used by the malaria parasite P. falciparum to internalize host erythrocyte proteins.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
Characterizing the molecular mechanisms of this process could lead to the discovery of new anti-malarial compounds.
