Abstract

Antimalarial Drug Candidate Spiroindolones were discovered as promising antimalarial drug candidates through a high-throughput screening approach that should be applicable to a range of neglected infectious diseases. Rottmann et al. (p. 1175 ; see the Perspective by Wells ) present the preclinical profile for an optimized spiroindolone drug candidate, NITD609. They obtained evidence for a decrease in drug sensitivity in strains of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum bearing amino acid mutations in the P-type ATPase, indicating possible mechanisms of action and/or resistance.
