Nonimmune Aotus monkeys infected with Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax were cured of their infections when treated with a single oral dose of 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg of the 2-aminomethylphenol, JPC-3210, respectively. Corresponding mean blood elimination half-lives of JPC-3210 were lengthy at 19.1 days and 20.5 days, respectively. This in vivo potency and lengthy half-life supports the further development of JPC-3210 as a promising, long-acting blood schizontocidal antimalarial for malaria treatment and prevention.
