a Inhibition of P. falciparum intra-erythrocytic growth. Troph stage parasites were treated with different concentrations (1–500 µM) of propranolol over one complete intra-erythrocytic life cycle of the parasite. Growth inhibition was measured using SYBR green staining. Propranolol inhibited parasite growth in a dose-dependent manner. b Reduced ring formation in propranolol treated parasites. Number of rings formed per schizont egress was calculated to score invasion. Number of invasion (rings formed) per schizont egress was highly reduced in propranolol treatment. *P < 0.05, (n = 3)
