Chemical and genetic validation of thiamine utilization as an antimalarial drug target
2013
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum utilizes thiamine for the production of essential enzymatic cofactors. Chan et al. show that inhibition of thiamine utilization with oxythiamine inhibits proliferation of P. falciparum and reduces parasite growth in a mouse model of malaria infection.
