Electron micrographs depicting the effect of chalcone derivatives on P. falciparum CQ sensitive (MRC-2) strain. a untreated control “early ring stage (early trophozoite)” and b untreated control “late ring stage (late trophozoite)” c, d CQ-treated; e, f compound 1-treated; g, h compound 2-treated; i, j compound 3-treated. a Arrows represent appendages (a), ribosomes (r) and, mitochondrion (m). b Arrows represent nucleus (n), lipid vacuole (l), a cytostome with a forming food vacuole (v), and pigment vacuole (pv). c–j represents degenerative Plasmodium with condensed chromatin, vacuolation, membrane disintegration, swollen mitochondrion. The bar represents 800 nm-1 µm
