About the Book: Medicinal Marine Life: Antimalarial Compounds
Malaria is an infectious disease caused mainly by the protozoan parasite,
Plasmodium falciparum which is responsible for most severe diseases and most
fatal cases. The emergence and spread of artemisinin-resistant malaria over the
past 15 years has led to a recent rise in global malaria cases and represents a
major public health concern. Though, the first malaria vaccine has been approved
for clinical use in October of 2021after intense research efforts, its 36 %
efficacy highlights the need for novel and effective drugs to combat malaria.
Further, the majority of present antimalarials are the derivatives of previous
efficient compounds
