Inhibition of the Growth of Plasmodium falciparum in Culture by Stearylamine-Phosphatidylcholine Liposomes

Figure 2

Effect of SA density in SPC liposome on the parasite viability: Infected human RBCs in the presence of liposome suspension (30 μM) containing 5, 10, 20, and 30 mol% SA was incubated at 37°C for 42 h as described in materials and methods. Inset: Relationship between surface density of SA in the liposome membrane and reciprocal of the IC₅₀ required for killing the parasite (1/ IC₅₀).
