Selection, synthesis and evaluation of novel drug-like compounds from a library of virtual compounds designed from natural products with antiplasmodial activities

Magister Pharmaceuticae - MPharm === Malaria is an infectious disease which continues to kill more than one million people every year and the African continent accounts for most of the malaria death worldwide. New classes of medicine to combat malaria are urgently needed due to the surge in resistan...

New classes of medicine to combat malaria are urgently needed due to the surge in resistance of the Plasmodium falciparum (the parasite that causes malaria in humans) to existing antimalarial drugs.
