Potent P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (pfDHFR) inhibitor.
WR99210 is a potent inhibitor of Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (pfDHFR), which is a major malarial drug target. It has subnanomolar potency for the wild type, double mutant and quadruple mutant dihydrofolate reductases.
With emerging drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum, novel antifolates effective against pyrimethamine-resistant and cycloguanil-resistant dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) are in demand. Based on structural similarity to cycloguanil, it has been proposed that WR99210, and its metabolic precursor PS-15, exerts selective antimalarial

Defining protein-protein interactions is fundamental to the understanding of gene function. Protein-fragment complementation assays have been used for the analysis of protein-protein interactions in various organisms. The split-dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) protein-fragment complementation assay utilises two complementary fragments of the enzyme
A hallmark of the biology of Plasmodium falciparum blood stage parasites is their extensive host cell remodelling, facilitated by parasite proteins that are exported into the erythrocyte. Although this area has received extensive attention, only a few exported parasite proteins
