10 μM doxycycline kills P. falciparum with first-cycle, apicoplast-specific activity, Epifluorescence images of synchronized parasites treated as rings with 10 μM DOX ±200 μM IPP and imaged 36 or 65 449 hours later (green = ACPL-GFP, blue = nuclear Hoechst stain) . Fluorescence microscopy of live, synchronized D10 parasites untreated or treated with 15 μM DFO and imaged 36 hours later (green = ACPL-GFP, blue = nuclear Hoechst stain).
