Malaria remains the fifth deadliest parasitic infection worldwide, despite significant advancements in technology. A major challenge in combating this disease lies in the growing resistance of malaria parasites to antimalarial drugs and insect vectors to insecticides. The emerging inefficacy of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) further exacerbates the issue.

Cancer, particularly skin cancer, is a major cause of mortality worldwide, with melanoma being one of the most aggressive and challenging to treat types. Current therapeutic options, such as dacarbazine (DTIC), have limitations due to dose-related toxicities like liver toxicity. Therefore, there is a need for new and effective treatments for melanoma.

Currently, artemisinin-based combination therapy is recommended as first-line treatment of uncomplicated malaria. Arylamino alcohols (AAAs) such as mefloquine (MQ) are the preferred partner drugs due to their longer half-life, reliable absorption and strong antimalarial activity. However, the mode of action of MQ remains poorly understood and its neurotoxicity limits its use.

Stress on the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can severely disrupt cellular function by impairing protein folding and post-translational modifications, thereby leading to the accumulation of poor-quality proteins. However, research on its impact on photosynthesis remains limited. In this study, we investigated the impact of ER stress on the photosynthetic efficiency of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using pharmacological inducers, tunicamycin (TM) and brefeldin A (BFA), which specifically target the ER.
