          New research: Cancer drug with potential to be used against malaria

          A cancer drug currently in clinical trials has shown the potential to protect from, cure and prevent transmission of malaria.

          The breakthrough finding by the University of Cape Town (UCT) researchers, in collaboration with several local and international institutions from the United States, Germany and Spain, offers new hope against a disease that kills over half a million people annually, most severely affecting children under five, pregnant women and patients with HIV.

          The findings were released on 19 October in a new paper, “The anticancer human mTOR inhibitor sapanisertib potently inhibits multiple Plasmodium kinases and lifecycle stages”, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
