dc.description.abstract Anthracene-polyamine conjugates inhibit the in vitro proliferation of the intraerythrocytic human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, with IC50 values in the nM-μM range. The compounds are taken up into the intraerythrocytic parasite where they arrest the parasite cell-cycle. Both the anthracene and polyamine components of the conjugates play a role in their antiplasmodial effect. en_US
