The Next Opportunity in Anti-Malaria Drug Discovery: The Liver Stage
Malaria afflicts 350–500 million people annually, and this debilitating and deadly infectious disease exacts a heavy toll on susceptible populations around the globe. Efforts to find effective, safe, and low-cost drugs for malaria have sharply increased in recent years. Almost all of these efforts have focused on the cyclic blood stage of the disease, partly because the parasites can be easily ...
متن کاملAntimalaria Drug Development & Pipeline
Artemisin traditionally cleave the peroxide bond by Fe(II) found in heme proteins, thus generating toxic oxygen radicals. Synthetic peroxides, thus are proving to be useful substitutes for artemisinin. The first-generation ozonide OZ277, known as arterolane [1], has been found to inhibit the growth of chloroquine-resistant (K1) and chloroquine sensitive (NF54) parasite strains. In 2012, the com...
متن کاملCYP2C8 and antimalaria drug efficacy.
Malaria is a major infectious disease. In the last 10 years it has killed more than 20 million people, mainly small children in Africa. The highly efficacious artemisinine combination therapy is being launched globally, constituting the main hope for fighting the disease. Amodiaquine is a main partner in these combinations. Amodiaquine is almost entirely metabolized by the polymorphic cytochrom...
متن کاملNew Targets for Drug Discovery against Malaria
A mathematical model which predicts the intraerythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum infection was developed using data from malaria-infected mice. Variables selected accounted for levels of healthy red blood cells, merozoite (Plasmodium asexual phase) infected red blood cells, gametocyte (Plasmodium sexual phase) infected red blood cells and a phenomenological variable which accounts for ...
متن کاملAntimalaria drug offers antitumor strategies.
Q uinacrine, an old antimalaria drug given to millions of soldiers during World War II, is garnering new interest as a chemotherapeutic agent that targets two major cancer-promoting pathways — apparently with minimal toxicity to normal cells.Interest in the drug’s mechanism of action has also spawned a search for structural analogues culminating in a new class of compounds, dubbed curaxins, whi...
