no / New antimalarial drugs are urgently needed to combat emerging multidrug resistant strains of malaria
parasites. This Highlight focuses on plant-derived natural products that are of interest as potential leads
towards new antimalarial drugs including synthetic analogues of natural compounds, with the
exception of artemisinin derivatives, which are not included due to limited space. Since effective
antimalarial treatment is often unavailable or unaffordable to many of those who need it, there is
increasing interest in the development of locally produced herbal medicines; recent progress in this area
will also be reviewed in this Highlight.
