What is it about?
Starting from triclosan led to the development of diaryl ureas. These compounds had nM activity in vitro and in vivo activity against P. Berghei. A pharmacophore was generated with 34 compounds that pulled out compoundsin the GSK library of antimalarials.

Why is it important?
A novel class of compounds was described with in vivo activity. The pharmacophore could be used to identify novel compounds for testing in future .
Perspectives
My role in this work was the pharmacophore and database search. Potential to use similar approaches to other classes of compounds.
