Phenotypic high-throughput screens are a valuable tool for identifying new chemical compounds with antimalarial activity. Traditionally, these screens have focused solely on the symptomatic asexual blood stage of the parasite life cycle; however, to discover new medicines for malaria treatment and prevention, robust screening technologies against other parasite life-cycle stages are required. This review highlights recent advances and progress toward phenotypic screening methodologies over the past several years, with a focus on exoerythrocytic stage screens.
表型高通量筛选是鉴定具有抗疟活性新化合物的宝贵工具。传统上,这些筛选仅聚焦于寄生虫生命周期中有症状的无性血液阶段;然而,为了发现用于疟疾治疗和预防的新药,需要针对其他寄生虫生命周期阶段的强大筛选技术。本综述重点介绍了过去几年表型筛选方法的最新进展,尤其关注红细胞外期筛选。
