MMV malaria box phenotyped against plasmodium and toxoplasma

A Singapore-India collaborative research project has completed phenotypic screening of MMV Malaria Box, a large collection of potent chemical inhibitors against pathogenic parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agents of human toxoplasmosis and malaria. This research opens up new avenues to study unique stages of the infectious cycle that are affected by inhibitor classes toward anti-parasitic drug development.
