Testing for New Malaria Drugs

Hello,
I am an academic chemist and I have recently developed a series of potent, small molecule enzymatic inhibitors. This target enzyme has been validated repeatedly throughout the literature with various tool molecules for it's anti-malarial activity. In the past I have been able to use a contract research organization to determine the activity of my compounds for other projects. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a company or even a non-profit Malaria organization that screens compounds. Any advice?

Regarding the testing
Dear Kevin, I am into testing of phytomolecules and working for Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India. I will look out for a mechanism for testing your entities as we are a public funded organization. Regards, Anirban
