ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the use of these cyclophilins, hereinafter referred to as "cyclophilin-like proteins (CLP)" in a method for identifying compounds capable of binding to and/or inhibiting the enzymatic activity of these proteins. Such compounds may be further screened for their ability to inhibit parasites which are not susceptible to the anti-parasitic effects of CsA.
