PanAms’ antiplasmodial action. In this study, we investigated the effect of PanAms on these processes using their radiolabeled versions (synthesized here for the first time), which made possible the directmeasurement of PanAm uptake by isolated blood-stage parasites and PanAm phosphorylation by PfPanK present in parasite lysates. We found that the MoA of PanAms does not involve interference with pantothenate
