This document discusses prioritizing novel drug targets for Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria. It outlines criteria for prioritizing targets, including essentiality, druggability, selectivity, stage specificity, and assayability. Five drug targets were selected based on fulfilling these criteria, having structural information available, and evidence of in vivo inhibition. One example target discussed is adenosine deaminase. The conclusion states that with no effective vaccine available, drug targets are important for developing new malaria treatments.
