A Natural Product Puts Malaria on a Low-Fat Diet
Abstract
In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Yoo et al. (2020) use chemical proteomics to identify target proteins for the potent antimalarial natural product Salinipostin A. Polypharmacology from targeting multiple parasite serine hydrolases and lipases limits resistance to the compound, making this a promising new approach for treating malaria.
