The Activities of Current Antimalarial Drugs on the Life Cycle Stages of Plasmodium: A Comparative Study with Human and Rodent Parasites

Figure 1

The main classes of antimalarials.

The chemical structures of all the main classes of antimalarials and other therapeutic and control molecules are assembled according to either the chemical classes they belong to (endoperoxides, 4- and 8- AQs, amino-alcohols) or their function (antifolate, antibiotics), or both (e.g., sulfonamides, a chemical class of antibiotic used in combined antimalarial therapies). The colour code associated with each class is consistent in all the figures in this report.
