Title: Design and synthesis of Pfmrk inhibitors as potential antimalarial agents.

Authors: Xiao Z, Waters NC, Woodard CL, Li Z, Li PK.

Abstract: The synthesis and inhibitory activities of 10 potential inhibitors of Pfmrk, a Plasmodium falciparum cyclin-dependent protein kinase, are described. The most potent inhibitor is a 3-phenyl-quinolinone compound with an IC(50) value of 18 microM. It is the first compound reported to inhibit Pfmrk at the micro molar range.
