In Vitro Antimalarial Drug Sensitivity Testing For Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax
Aim of this study was to standardize the Antimalarial drug sensitivity testing using microtitre plate method similar to WHO III plate method. The study was conducted over a period of two years from January 2013 to December 2014. Total 44 patient samples were included in this study (22 were P. falciparum and 22 were P. vivax). 68.18% of P. falciparum blood samples showed resistance to chloroquin...
متن کاملStructural model of the Plasmodium falciparum thioredoxin reductase:a novel target for antimalarial drugs.
BACKGROUND Malaria, a scourge of mankind, imposes a huge socioeconomic burden in tropical countries. Emergence of multi-drug resistant malarial parasites impels us to explore novel drug targets. Thioredoxin reductase is a promising antimalarial drug target. METHODS The Thioredoxin reductase enzyme of Plasmodium falciparum was characterized in silico and protein disorder was predicted using av...
متن کاملPlasmodium falciparum Thioredoxin Reductase (PfTrxR) and Its Role as a Target for New Antimalarial Discovery.
The growing resistance to current antimalarial drugs is a major concern for global public health. The pressing need for new antimalarials has led to an increase in research focused on the Plasmodium parasites that cause human malaria. Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme needed to maintain redox equilibrium in Plasmodium species, is a promising target for new antimalarials. This review paper...
متن کاملOverexpression of leucyl aminopeptidase in Plasmodium falciparum parasites. Target for the antimalarial activity of bestatin.
Malaria aminopeptidases are important in the generation and regulation of free amino acids that are used in protein anabolism and for maintaining osmotic stability within the infected erythrocyte. The intraerythrocytic development of malaria parasites is blocked when the activity of aminopeptidases is specifically inhibited by reagents such as bestatin. One of the major aminopeptidases of malar...
متن کاملEosin B as a novel antimalarial agent for drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum.
4',5'-Dibromo-2',7'-dinitrofluorescein, a red dye commonly referred to as eosin B, inhibits Toxoplasma gondii in both enzymatic and cell culture studies with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) of 180 microM. As a non-active-site inhibitor of the bifunctional T. gondii dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS), eosin B offers a novel mechanism for inhibition of the parasitic fo...
