In vitro activity of cycloguanil against African isolates of Plasmodium falciparum.
The in vitro activity of cycloguanil was assessed against 86 African isolates of Plasmodium falciparum by a semi-micro assay system. A bimodal distribution of susceptibility patterns was observed, with 44% of the isolates being cycloguanil susceptible. Cycloguanil alone retains a high activity against the intraerythrocytic forms of some isolates and, together with its activity against the hepat...
متن کاملIn Vitro Activity of Mefloquine and its Enantiomers Against Plasmodium falciparum
The in vitro activity of rac-mefloquine hydrochloride and its pure enantiomers was tested against a chloroquine-resistant (PF.IBS2) strain of Plasmodium falciparum. The parasite isolated from Iranian patients was cultured in vitro by the candle jar method described by Tranger and Jensen and was exposed to the racemic mefloquine or its enantiomers over the concentration range of 10-9 to 10-4 M. ...
متن کاملActivity in vitro of chloroquine, cycloguanil, and mefloquine against African isolates of Plasmodium falciparum: presumptive evidence for chemoprophylactic efficacy in Central and West Africa.
Discussion Although multiresistant P. faldipamm is an increasing problem, reports of P . vivax resistant to chloroquine have been few. The above case reports document the presence of chloroquine-resistant P. vivax in India, and show that it may not be as rare as it i s presumed to be. Also, the number of drug resistant strains is probably increasing. Antimalarial drugs other than chloroquine us...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of the biguanide PS-15 and its metabolite, WR99210, against cycloguanil-resistant Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Thailand.
The in vitro activities of the new biguanide PS-15 and its putative active metabolite, WR99210, were determined against seven different isolates or clones of Plasmodium falciparum. The mean 50% inhibitory concentrations of PS-15 and WR99210 were 1,015 and 0.06 ng/ml, respectively. WR99210 was up to 363 times more potent than cycloguanil, the active metabolite of proguanil, against cycloguanil-r...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of artemether against African isolates (Senegal) of Plasmodium falciparum in comparison with standard antimalarial drugs.
The in vitro activity of artemether against 56 African isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from Senegal was evaluated using an isotope-based drug susceptibility semi-microtest. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for artemether were in a narrow range from 0.8 to 15.2 nM (mean IC50 = 3.43 nM) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) was 2.50-4.36 nM. Artemether was equally effective on chlo...
