Azathioprine favourably influences the course of malaria

Diwakar Bobbala, Saisudha Koka, Corinna Geiger, Michael Föller, Stephan M Huber, Florian Lang Malaria Journal 2009, 8:102 (14 May 2009)

The paper shows that exposure of human erythrocytes to azathioprine, a purine analog that is rapidly converted to 6-mercaptopurine after oral administration, inhibits the intraerythrocytic growth of Plasmodium falciparum, enhances suicidal death of infected erythrocytes, decreases parasitemia and fosters host survival during malaria.
