Identification and characterization of thiamine analogues with antiplasmodial activity

Imam Fathoni, Terence C. S. Ho, Alex H. Y. Chan…·Kevin J. Saliba

This study identifies N3-pyridyl thiamine (N3PT) as a more potent antiplasmodial thiamine analogue than oxythiamine, with lower toxicity to human cells and effective in vivo activity against malaria parasites.

Pleiotropic Roles for the Plasmodium berghei RNA Binding Protein UIS12 in Transmission and Oocyst Maturation

Katja Müller, Olivier Silvie, Hans‐Joachim Mollenkopf, Kai Matuschewski

This study shows that UIS12 in Plasmodium berghei is essential for gametocyte formation and oocyst development in mosquitoes, leading to life cycle arrest.
