Figure 6

Microtubule stabilizing and destabilizing compounds exert contrasting effects on their target. Panel A shows P. falciparum without any drug treatment after 24 hours. Panel B shows parasites 24 hours after treated with 500 nM paclitaxel. Images in panel C represents parasites treated with 100 nM vinblastine, after 24 hours. Molar concentration of the drugs was chosen on the basis of published IC50.
