to redistribute to the parasite plasma membrane, consistent with depletion of intracellular PI4P upon inhibition of PfPI4K function. BQR695 shows no evidence of toxicity against mature red blood cells (RBCs), induces a schizont-stage arrest indistinguishable from that observed in imidazopyrazine-treated parasites and exhibits cross-resistance with the imidazopyrazine-resistant lines.
