Dose-response curve of maslinic acid on P. falciparum infected erythrocytes. A. Structure of maslinic acid. B. P. falciparum Dd2 (black circles) and 3D7 (white circles) strains were grown in erythrocyte cultures at 1% initial parasitaemia and incubated with different concentrations of maslinic acid. The DNA content was determined at 48 hours by microfluorimetry. The calculated 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were 32 ± 2 for Dd2 and 26 ± 3 μM for 3D7. Results are the mean of three independent cultures.
