Effects of the G-quadruplex-binding drugs Quarfloxin and CX-5461 on the malaria parasite <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

2023-07-13

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum is the deadliest causative agent of human malaria. This parasite has historically developed resistance to many drugs, including the current frontline treatments, so new therapeutic targets are needed. Our previous work on guanine quadruplexes (G4s) in the parasite’s DNA and RNA has highlighted their influence on parasite biology, and revealed G4 stabilising compounds as promising candidates f...
