Abstrakt: In efforts towards eliminating malaria, a discovery program was initiated to identify a novel antimalarial using KAF156 as a starting point. Following the most recent TCP/TPP guidelines, we have identified mCMQ069 with a predicted single oral dose for treatment (∼40-106 mg) and one-month chemoprevention (∼96-216 mg). We have improved unbound MPC and predicted human clearance by 18-fold and 10-fold respectively when compared to KAF156.
