Drug resistance has been reported for every antimalarial in use highlighting the need for new strategies to protect the efficacy of therapeutics in development. We have previously shown that resistance can be suppressed with a population biology trap: by identifying situations where resistance to one compound confers hypersensitivity to another (collateral sensitivity), we can design combination therapies that not only kill the parasite but also guide its evolution away from resistance. We applied this concept to thePlasmodium falciparumdihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH) enzyme, a well validated antimalarial target with inhibitors in the development pipeline. Here, we report a high-throughput screen to identify compounds specifically active againstPfDHODH resistant mutants. We additionally perform extensive cross-resistance profiling allowing us to identify compound pairs demonstrating the potential for mutually incompatible resistance. These combinations represent promising starting points for exploiting collateral sensitivity to extend the useful lifespan of new antimalarial therapeutics.
