Deconvolution of the On-Target Activity of Plasmepsin V Peptidomimetics in Plasmodium falciparum Parasites Plasmepsin V (PMV), an essential aspartyl protease, plays a critical role during the asexual blood stage of infection of Plasmodium by enabling the export of parasite proteins into the host red blood ...

Please to share #Sleebs_Lab #WEHI_research latest research led my #Madeline_Dans and #Wenyin_Su demonstrating the on-target activity of plasmepsin V peptidomimetics in Plasmodium falciparum parasites using genetic and proteomic approaches.

Optimization and Characterization of the Antimalarial Activity of N-Aryl Acetamides that are Susceptible to Mutations in ROM8 and CSC1 New antimalarials are needed due to the threat of emerging resistance against existing antimalarial therapies. A phenotypic screen uncovered the N-aryl acetamide class that inhibits the development of...

Pleased to see our research is published #Sleebs_Lab #WEHI_research led by William Nguyen on the optimization of an antimalarial class that targets ROM8 & CSC1
...stay tuned for more research on the intriguing role of ROM8 & CSC1 in parasite survival...
