Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of chemovaccination against Plasmodium infection comprising administering to a patient an effective amount of a selective inhibitor of plasmepsin X, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: A method of chemovaccination against Plasmodium infections comprising administering to a patient, an effective amount of a dual inhibitor of plasmepsin IX and X, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating malaria comprising administration of an N3-substituted iminopyrimidinone of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to a subject in need thereof, wherein the variables R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, A, B, L, m, and n are as defined herein. The invention also provides uses of the compounds of Formula (I), as defined herein, for inhibiting plasmepsin V activity, for treating a Plasmodium infection, and for treating malaria. Also provided are methods of treatment further comprising administration of one or more additional anti-malarial compounds.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to the crystal structure of Plasmodium vivax plasmepsin V in complex with an inhibitor, and to methods of using the crystal structure and related structural information to identify, design and/or screen for inhibitors or redesign known inhibitors that interact with and/or modulate plasmepsin V activity. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a class of compounds based on the inhibitor useful in the treatment of malaria.
