Antimalarials with Benzothiophene Moieties as Aminoquinoline Partners.
Malaria is a severe and life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites that are spread to humans through bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Here, we report on the efficacy of aminoquinolines coupled to benzothiophene and thiophene rings in inhibiting Plasmodium falciparum parasite growth. Synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimalarial activity and toxicity, in vitro a...
متن کاملCarbohydrate moieties as vaccine candidates.
Carbohydrate epitopes or glycotopes are structurally diverse, occur in a variety of chemical contexts, and are present on the surfaces of cells in the body and on the surfaces of pathogens. These various structures and modes of presentation affect how they are perceived and processed by the body and dictate the outcome of the immune response directed against them. This review focuses on mechani...
متن کاملNovel 4-aminoquinoline analogues as antimalarial agents: A review
Malaria remains the worlds’ most devastating human parasitic infection, afflicting 500 million people and causing from 1.7-2.5 million deaths each year globally. 4-aminoquinoline drugs are highly effective and rapidly acting agents against asexual erythrocytic stages of malaria parasites mainly P. vivax and P. falciparum responsible for life threatening clinical manifestations and severity of t...
متن کاملEngaging patients as partners in research: Factors associated with awareness, interest, and engagement as research partners
OBJECTIVES There is growing interest in engaging patients in healthcare research, which raises important questions about the factors that may promote such engagement. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between patient characteristics and three aspects of patient engagement in the medical research process: awareness, interest, and actual participation. METHODS Cross-secti...
متن کاملNovel cinnamic acid/4-aminoquinoline conjugates bearing non-proteinogenic amino acids: towards the development of potential dual action antimalarials.
A series of cinnamic acid/4-aminoquinoline conjugates conceived to link, through a proper retro-enantio dipeptide, a heterocyclic core known to prevent hemozoin formation, to a trans-cinnamic acid motif capable of inhibiting enzyme catalytic Cys residues, were synthesized as potential dual-action antimalarials. The effect of amino acid configuration and the absence of the dipeptide spacer were ...
