Abstract

Background: We have previously identified potent novel antimalarial compounds with an unknown mode of action. Results: A photo-reactive affinity capture method was used to identify parasite proteins that interact with these antimalarials. Conclusion: ACT-213615 interacts with Plasmodium falciparum multidrug resistance protein 1 (PfMDR1). Significance: This photo-reactive affinity capture method can be generally used to identify drug targets in live cells.
