Profiling molecular factors associated with pyknosis and developmental arrest induced by an opioid receptor antagonist and dihydroartemisinin in Plasmodium falciparum.

Profiling molecular factors associated with pyknosis and developmental arrest induced by an opioid receptor antagonist and dihydroartemisinin in Plasmodium falciparum.

Malaria continues to be a devastating disease, largely caused by Plasmodium falciparum infection. We investigated the effects of opioid and cannabinoid receptor antagonists on the growth of intraerythrocytic P. falciparum. The delta opioid receptor antagonist 7-benzylidenenaltrexone (BNTX) and the c...
