Bumped kinase inhibitor BKI-1708 interferes in cytokinesis and drives baryzoite stage conversion in the cyst-forming apicomplexan parasites Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum and Besnoitia besnoiti

Maria Cristina Sousa, Joachim Müller, Kai Pascal Alexander Hänggeli, Manfred Heller, Anne‐Christine Uldry, Sophie Braga-Lagache, Alexandre Leitão, Luis Miguel Ortega‐Mora, Kayode K. Ojo, Wesley C. Van Voorhis A, Andrew Frederick Hemphill

This study shows that BKI-1708 induces baryzoite formation in T. gondii, N. caninum, and B. besnoiti, which exhibit distinct phenotypic and proteomic features and lack complete cytokinesis.
