| Project Title: | Plasmodium falciparum metabolomics as a result of treatment with putative acetyl-CoA synthetase inhibitors |
| Project Summary: | Plasmodium falciparum is the most virulent species of parasites that cause malaria. Current drug efforts that are used to combat this deadly disease often employ pharmacologic strategies that inhibit critical parasite metabolic functions. Compounds used in the present study have generated resistance mutations in major acetyl-CoA producing enzymes. Hence, we set out to test the metabolic effects of these compounds on Plasmodium falciparum parasites including those on acetyl-CoA production by treating parasites for 2.5 hours under 10xIC50 of the test compounds. We used a targeted HPLC/mass spectrometry-based approach to analyze parasite metabolism. We find that multiple compounds tested in these studies have led to relative decreases in acetyl-CoA abundance compared to control parasite conditions. These studies are necessary for understanding pharmacology effects on the most virulent human malaria parasite. |
