Abstract

Several known mammalian ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors featuring a polyhydroxyphenyl and/or hydroxamate moiety as the active group were screened for potency in inhibiting growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Compounds containing a 2,3- or 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl group as well as benzohydroxamate appear to be the most effective inhibitors of the malaria Parasite.
