Abstract excerpt
The riboflavin analogues, roseoflavin and 8-aminoriboflavin, inhibit malaria parasite proliferation by targeting riboflavin utilization. To determine their mechanism of action, we generated roseoflavin-resistant parasites by in vitro evolution. Relative to wild-type, these parasites were 4-fold resistant to roseoflavin and cross-resistant to 8-aminoriboflavin. Whole genome sequencing of the resistant parasites...
