The in vitro activities of FR160, a synthetic catecholate siderophore, and two iron-binding agents, desferrioxamine and doxycycline, were evaluated against Plasmodium falciparum isolates. Correlations between these compounds and standard antimalarial drugs (chloroquine, quinine, amodiaquine, pyronaridine, artemether, artesunate, atovaquone, cycloguanil and pyrimethamine) were assessed to determine any degree of cross-resistance.
