A potent series targeting the malarial cGMP-dependent protein kinase clears infection and blocks transmission

A potent series targeting the malarial cGMP-dependent protein kinase clears infection and blocks transmission

Protein kinases are promising drug targets for treatment of malaria. Here, starting with a medicinal chemistry approach, Baker et al. generate an imidazopyridine that selectively targets Plasmodium falciparum PKG, inhibits blood stage parasite growth in vitro and in mice and blocks transmission to m...
