Popis: Previously, we reported JPC-2997 [4-(tert-Butyl)-2-((tert-butylamino)methyl)-6-(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)-phenol] to possess high in vitro antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum lines, low cytotoxicity in mammalian cell lines, a long blood elimination half-life in Aotus monkeys (10.8 days), and potent in vivo efficacy against animal malaria models (1). Herein, as planned by Birrell et al., we report on the in vivo efficacy of JPC-2997 against the chloroquine- and quinine-resistant P. falciparum FVO strain in Aotus monkeys.
