Screening and hit evaluation of a chemical library against blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum
A chemical library of 250,000 compounds, evaluated in a blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum growth inhibition assay
Abstract
In view of the need to continuously feed the pipeline with new anti-malarial agents adapted to differentiated and more stringent target product profiles (e.g. new modes of action, transmission-blocking activity or long-duration chemo-protection), a chemical library consisting of more than 250,000 compounds has been evaluated in a blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum growth inhibition assay and further assessed for chemical diversity and novelty.
