Abstract
Malaria is a global health problem that needs attention of drug discovery scientists to investigate novel compounds with high drug efficacy, safety and low cost to counter the malaria parasites that are resistant to existing drug molecules. This is an overview of past to present status of antimalarial drugs including newly researched candidates and also the alternative approaches for the complete control of malaria.

Drugs and Mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
