NT: Not tested. The SYBR green I growth inhibition assay was performed in triplicates for DAQ, DAQM and CQ. The LDH growth inhibition assay for DAQ and DAQM was performed in duplicates. CQ was tested 8 times against the 3D7 strain using the LDH assay, and in duplicates against the Dd2 and RF12 strains. Individual IC50 values are reported in Table S1.
