Antimalarial agent 53 is an antimalarial agent. Antimalarial agent 53 blocks protein synthesis by inhibiting the cytoplasmic ribosomes of malaria parasites, exhibiting potent antimalarial activity (IC50 = 3.9 nM) and good selectivity. Antimalarial agent 53 has no cross resistance and good safety. Antimalarial agent 53 can be used for research on malaria[1].
