Bioactivity Comments |
The interaction table below provides data from an evaluation of the antimalarial (asexual blood stage) activity of MK-4815, using a panel of P. falciparum strains, with the drug exhibiting efficacy against drug resistant strains. Further in vitro experiments indicate that MK-4815 accumulates in erythrocytes infected with the later developmental forms of the asexual blood stage parasite and that it is also most effective against these forms [2]. In addition, the compound demonstrated good oral activity when tested in a P. berghei mouse model of acute malaria [2]. |
