Effective Therapy Targeting Cytochrome bc1 Prevents Babesia Erythrocytic Development and Protects from Lethal Infection

Joy E. Chiu et al.

Summary: An effective strategy of targeting the mitochondrial cytochrome bc protein complex with endochin-like quinolones and atovaquone has been found to eliminate Babesia infections, with the potent ELQ prodrug ELQ-502 showing strong efficacy in vitro and in mouse models. This experimental therapy presents an ideal clinical candidate for treating human infections caused by Babesia and related parasites, with its low dosage efficacy, safety, bioavailability, and long half-life.
