Bioactivity Comments
The antiparasite activity of cladosporin against both the liver stage and asexual blood stage of the Plasmodium lifecycle is provided in the interaction table below. Cladosporin is greater than 100-fold more potent against PfcKRS relative to the human enzyme, which is conferred by the identity of two amino acids within the enzyme active site [1].
