PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Drug resistance in the human malaria parasite

The quinoline drug chloroquine served as the frontline treatment for malaria from the mid 1940s to the 1990s, by which time the emergence and spread of chloroqune-resistant parasites had rendered the drug ineffective in most endemic regions. The non-quinoline antimalarials deployed to replace chloroquine have by comparison suffered short life spans.
