| Cells with 1% parasitemia and 2% hematocrit in the presence of various concentrations of above mentioned liposomal formulations (6.5 μM–208 μM lipids) and free spermidine (34 μM–1102 μM) were treated for 42 h at 37°C (in between at 24 h, [3H] hypoxanthine was added). The cell-associated radioactivity was determined and inhibition of growth calculated by comparison with controls (without liposomes/spermidine). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
