Description
This innovation news covered the new antimalarial drug lead molecules that I discovered from medicinal plants, which were patented. The drug leads were effective against the multi-drug resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum, which claims millions of lives every year. This discovery was a timely one as there is no vaccine against malaria.
