South African Abietane Diterpenoids and Their Analogs as Potential Antimalarials: Novel Insights from Hybrid Computational Approaches
The hemoglobin degradation process in <i>Plasmodium</i> parasites is vital for nutrient acquisition required for their growth and proliferation. In <i>P. falciparum</i>, falcipains (FP-2 and FP-3) are the major hemoglobinases, and remain attractive antimalarial drug targets....
