We report the discovery of new potent inhibitors of the growth of Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine (CQ)-resistant W2 strain. These compounds were designed using the double drug approach by introducing a residue able to enhance the accumulation of plasmepsins inhibitors into the food vacuole. Some of the molecules were more active than CQ against CQ-resistant strain and showed good selectivity against cathepsin D.

Abstract
We report the discovery of new potent inhibitors of the growth of Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine (CQ)-resistant W2 strain. These compounds were designed using the double drug approach by introducing a residue able to enhance the accumulation of plasmepsins inhibitors into the food vacuole. Some of the molecules were more active than CQ against CQ-resistant strain and showed good selectivity against cathepsin D.
