Abstract
The most likely antimalarial mechanism for complex [Au(CQ)(PPh3)]PF6 is the heme aggregation inhibition; the high activities observed against resistant parasites are probably due to the structural modification of CQ introduced by the presence of the gold-triphenylphosphine fragment, together with the enhanced lipophilic character.
