(Virginia Tech) Virginia Tech and Molsoft LLC researchers received the grant to continue their work on a new class of resistance-breaking insecticides to reduce malaria transmission.
Two advances from previous research form the basis for the grant: they figured out how to inhibit target site-resistant mosquito AChE (a key enzyme in the mosquito brain) and demonstrated this effect in vitro, and they discovered a way to modify the chemical structures of existing AChE-targeting insecticides to significantly lower toxicity to mammals.
