Toolkit expansion: We report an exploration of the antimalarial compound MMV692140. The mode of resistance was identified as PfeEF2. The structural motif was explored in a chemistry program, resulting in the identification of MMV1919557, an analog with significantly improved antimalarial potency. This new series could provide a tool to further understand the potential of PfeEF2 as a target for malaria treatment
