Effect of TTM on growth of synchronized P. falciparum parasites. Synchronized parasites at the ring stage were cultured in GFSRPMI for 28 h in the presence of graded concentrations of TTM. Each developmental stage was counted after Giemsa staining. Levels of parasitemia were 5.33 ± 0.15 (0 μM TTM), 4.93 ± 0.12 (2 μM), 3.75 ± 0.24 (8 μM), 3.69 ± 0.26 (32 μM), and 3.23 ± 0.26 (128 μM). The morphology of the trophozoites observed in the presence of higher concentrations of TTM and the schizonts in the absence of TTM is shown above graph.
