Mechanism: Combining doxycycline with ADEPs hyperactivates the PfClpP protease, causing it to rapidly shred the Plasmodium apicoplast's protein machinery. Readout: Readout: This eliminates the 48-hour parasite death lag seen with doxycycline alone, significantly increasing the parasite clearance rate.
