Abstract (EN):
Novel primaquine-cell penetrating peptide conjugates were synthesised and tested in vitro against liver stage Plasmodium berghei parasites, showing that generally the conjugates were more active than the parent peptides and, in some cases, than the parent drug. These are unprecedented findings that may open a new route towards antimalarial drug rescuing.
