Abstract

Bumped Kinase Inhibitors, targeting Calcium-dependent Protein Kinase 1 in apicomplexan parasites with a glycine gatekeeper, are promising new therapeutics for apicomplexan diseases. Here we will review advances, as well as challenges and lessons learned regarding efficacy, safety, and pharmacology that have shaped our selection of pre-clinical candidates.
