  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR MALARIA PROPHYLAXIS
    Publication number: 20110223179
    Abstract: A composition for preventing malaria infection including a steric inhibitor of circumsporozoite protein cleavage. A pharmaceutical composition for preventing malaria infection including a steric inhibitor and a pharmaceutical carrier. A method of malaria infection prophylaxis including the step of administering an effective amount of the composition of the present invention. A method of malaria prophylaxis by sterically inhibiting circumsporozoite protein processing or by directly inhibiting a protease of a sporozoite from binding to its target. Methods of preventing sporozoite cell invasion or preventing circumsporozoite processing through steric or direct inhibition.
