Plasmepsin V (PMV), an essential aspartyl protease, plays a critical role during the asexual blood stage of infection of <i>Plasmodium</i> by enabling the export of parasite proteins into the host red blood cell. This export is vital for parasite survival and pathogenesis, making PMV an attractive target for antimalarial drug development. Peptidomimetic inhibitors designed to mimic the natural substrate of PMV have demonstrated potent parasite-killing activity by blocking protein export. While t ...[more]
