Anticancer Properties of Distinct Antimalarial Drug Classes

We have tested five distinct classes of established and experimental antimalarial drugs for their anticancer potential, using a panel of 91 human cancer lines. Three classes of drugs: artemisinins, synthetic peroxides and DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) inhibitors effected potent inhibition of proliferation with IC50s in the nM- low µM range, whereas a DHODH (dihydroorotate dehydrogenase) and a ...

Properties of Protein Drug Target Classes

Accurate identification of drug targets is a crucial part of any drug development program. We mined the human proteome to discover properties of proteins that may be important in determining their suitability for pharmaceutical modulation. Data was gathered concerning each protein's sequence, post-translational modifications, secondary structure, germline variants, expression profile and drug t...

Anticancer Effect of AntiMalarial Artemisinin Compounds

The anti-malarial drug artemisinin has shown anticancer activity in vitro and animal experiments, but experience in human cancer is scarce. However, the ability of artemisinins to kill cancer cells through a variety of molecular mechanisms has been explored. A PubMed search of about 127 papers on anti-cancer effects of antimalarials has revealed that this class of drug, including other antimala...

Antimalarial drug resistance

Antimalarial drug resistance is of great concern in the WHO South-East Asia (SEA) Region. A high degree of resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is prevalent in this Region. Multidrug resistance is prevalent in some parts of the Greater Mekong Sub-region. Artemisinin and its derivatives in combination with other effective partner drugs, which showed fa...

Antimalarial drug resistance.

Malaria, the most prevalent and most pernicious parasitic disease of humans, is estimated to kill between one and two million people, mainly children, each year. Resistance has emerged to all classes of antimalarial drugs except the artemisinins and is responsible for a recent increase in malaria-related mortality, particularly in Africa. The de novo emergence of resistance can be prevented by ...
