Malaria is a disease caused by Plasmodium spp. protozoa. The ability of to develop resistance current antimalarial drugs makes the study chemotherapeutic alternatives extremely important. This aimed evaluate activity compound 3286938 (1-(3-benzyloxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxy-phenyl)-propan-1-one), which presents in its structure 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl group, vitro, using W2 strain P...
