ISPA-28 is an inhibitor of the plasmodial surface anion channel (PSAC).
ISPA-28 is an inhibitor of the plasmodial surface anion channel (PSAC). ISPA-28 is 800 fold more potent against PSAC expressed by the P. falciparum strain Dd2 over PSAC expressed by the HB23 strain. PSAC is incorporated into the membranes of Plasmodium-infected red blood cells, resulting in increased permeability to nutrients required for pathogen growth.

Acquired antimalarial drug resistance produces treatment failures and has led to periods of global disease resurgence. In Plasmodium falciparum, resistance is known to arise through genome-level changes such as mutations and gene duplications. We now report an epigenetic resistance mechanism
Erythrocytes infected with plasmodia, including those that cause human malaria, have increased permeability to a diverse collection of organic and inorganic solutes. While these increases have been known for decades, their mechanistic basis was unclear until electrophysiological studies revealed flux
