Adherence to a Six-Dose Regimen of Artemether-Lumefantrine for Treatment of Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in Uganda. [PDF]
Measuring baseline levels of adherence and identifying risk factors for non-adherence are important steps before the introduction of new antimalarials. In Mbarara in southwestern Uganda, we assessed adherence to artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) in its ...

A Novel Inhibitor against the Bromodomain Protein 1 of the Malaria Pathogen Plasmodium Falciparum
This article presents the development of a first‐in‐class inhibitor targeting the bromodomain protein PfBDP1 in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest variant of the malaria‐causing Plasmodium parasites. Through structure‐based drug design, the inhibitor interactions were characterized via X‐ray crystallography and isothermal titration calorimetry ...
