-
- 2
Researchers have developed MED6-189, a new drug effective against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of human malaria parasites. MED6-189 targets the apicoplast and vesicular trafficking pathways in Plasmodium falciparum, blocking parasite development and preventing drug resistance. This synthetic compound, inspired by marine sponges, has shown efficacy in both humanized mouse models and against other zoonotic parasites. […]
