Better late than never, but I am thrilled to share our newest research from the Treeck lab!!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The fast-evolving FIKK kinase family of Plasmodium falciparum can be inhibited by a single compound - Nature Microbiology
FIKK effector kinases underwent rapid evolutionary expansion and are a druggable target in Plasmodium falciparum.

Glad this is finally out. Using pharmacokinetic modeling we show that #nitisinone, an FDA-approved drug 4 #Tyrosinemia & #Alkaptonuria, kills #Anopheles mosquitoes, outperforming #Ivermectin. Grateful to all primary author’s & fantastic collaborators!

Anopheles mosquito survival and pharmacokinetic modeling show the mosquitocidal activity of nitisinone
Nitisinone reduces survival of the malaria-transmitting mosquito Anopheles gambiae by blocking tyrosine catabolism.
