Introduction

Malaria remains a major public health concern, especially in Africa, despite several years of research and billions of dollars spent on the development of drugs for the treatment of the disease. It is estimated that about 300 to 500 million cases of malaria occur globally every year, out of which 90% of the cases occur In Africa. It is also estimated that malaria is responsible for 1-2 million deaths annually in Africa (Toklohuimnnot, 2000). For over fifty years, the mainstay of malaria chemotherapy was chloroquine, which was both effective and cheap. In recent times, tho malaria parasites have developed resistance to the drug. In some places, up to 98% resistance to chloroquine have been reported (Saloko, 2000),
