摘要
The inhibition of farnesyltransferase was recently suggested as a new strategy for malaria therapy. A class of farnesyltransferase inhibitors such as 1 has been prepared which have in vivo activity in a murine malaria model. These inhibitors significantly reduce the farnesylation of parasite proteins.
