Zusammenfassung:A method of inhibiting parasitic activity is disclosed in which the biosynthesis of the glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor of said parasite is inhibited by incorporating into said GPI anchor an oxy-substituted fatty acid analog in place of myristate. The inhibitory compounds are C13 and C14 fatty acids or alkyl esters thereof in which a methylene group normally in carbon position 4 to 13 of said fatty acid is replaced with oxygen.
