ABSTRACT Earlier genetic and inhibitor studies showed that epigenetic regulation of gene expression is critical for malaria parasite survival in multiple life stages and a promising target for new antimalarials. We therefore evaluated the activity of 350 diverse epigenetic inhibitors against multiple stages of Plasmodium falciparum. We observed ≥90% inhibition at 10 μM for 28% of compounds against asexual blood stages and early gametocytes, of which a third retained ≥90% inhibition at 1 μM.

AbstractRegulation of gene expression by epigenetic processes is critical for malaria parasite survival in multiple life stages. To evaluate the suitability of targeting these pathways we screened 350 epigenetic inhibitors against asexual blood stages and gametocytes of P. falciparum. We observed ≥90% inhibition at 10 µM for 28% of compounds, of which a third retained ≥90% inhibition at 1 µM. These results suggest epigenetic regulation as a promising target for the development of new multi-stage anti-malarials.
