A Novel Antimalarial Agent that Inhibits Protein Synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum
Compound 31 represents a promising avenue for the development as an antimalarial agent with a potent activity profile (PfNF54 IC50 ± s.d. = 3.9 ± 0.4 nM). It has a novel mode of action by binding to cytosolic ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis in the parasite.

ABSTRACT Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune‐mediated polyradiculoneuropathy often triggered by infections. Malaria, a common parasitic disease in endemic regions, has rarely been associated with GBS. We report a case of a 21‐year‐old male from rural Ethiopia who developed GBS following Plasmodium vivax malaria.
