Activity of Epigenetic Inhibitors against Plasmodium falciparum Asexual and Sexual Blood Stages.


ABSTRACT: Earlier genetic and inhibitor studies showed that epigenetic regulation of gene expression is critical for malaria parasite survival in multiple life stages and a promising target for new antimalarials. We therefore evaluated the activity of 350 diverse epigenetic inhibitors against multiple stages of Plasmodium falciparum We observed ?90% inhibition at 10??M for 28% of compounds against asexual blood stages and early gametocytes, of which a third retained ?90% inhibition at 1??M.

Earlier genetic and inhibitor studies showed that epigenetic regulation of gene expression is critical for malaria parasite survival in multiple life stages and a promising target for new antimalarials. We therefore evaluated the activity of 350 diverse epigenetic inhibitors against multiple stages of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> We observed ≥90% inhibition at 10 μM for 28% of compounds against asexual blood stages and early gametocytes, of which a third retained ≥90% inhibition at 1 μM. ...[more]
