Guide to Malaria Pharmacology Comments
M5717 has comparable activity against multiple stages of the malaria parasite lifecycle and is indicated for use as a combination therapy for acute uncomplicated malaria, with potential to be a single-exposure radical cure (SERC) treatment [1]. Preclinical asessment of M5717 in combination with pyronaridine, reports rapid clearance of asexual blood stage parasites with exoerythrocytic activity and shows promise as an effective, long-lasting antimalarial therapy [4].
The compound is example 1A from patent WO2013153357 [2].

Potential Target/Mechanism Of Action: Evidence from genetic experiments indicates that P. falciparum elongation factor 2 (PfeEF2) may be the molecular target [1].
