Abstract excerpt
Spreading resistance to front-line treatments necessitate the search for new classes of antimalarials. Limitations of standard screening conditions lead us to develop an assay using culture media that more closely reflects nutrient levels in human serum to reveal new therapeutically relevant parasite pathways. Our approach was validated by testing 22k compounds followed by a full 750k compound screen and...
