Antimalarial efficacy of Pongamia pinnata (L) Pierre against Plasmodium falciparum (3D7 strain) and Plasmodium berghei (ANKA)
BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to assess the in vitro antiplasmodial activities of leaf, bark, flower, and the root of Pongamia pinnata against chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum (3D7 strain), cytotoxicity against Brine shrimp larvae and THP-1 cell line. For in vivo study, the plant extract which has shown potent in vitro antimalarial activity was tested against Plas...
متن کاملAntiplasmodial Activity of Isolated Polyphenols from Alectryon serratus Leaves Against 3D7 Plasmodium falciparum
Background Alectryon serratus was selected from a screening program devoted to search naturally occurring antimalarial compound from plants in Alas Purwo National Park, Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia. The previous studies showed that ethanol extract of A. serratus leaves contains some polyphenol compounds. Objective This study was designed to isolate and investigate antiplasmodial activity ...
متن کاملIn vitro antiplasmodial activity of marine sponge Clathria vulpina extract against chloroquine sensitive Plasmodium falciparum
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the genus Plasmodium such as Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium malariae. Among them, P. falciparum is the parasite responsible for most severe diseases and fatal cases, which may kill over one millions of people per annum. The parasite, P. falciparum is genetically diverse and has multiple independ...
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 کاملThe var3 genes of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain are differentially expressed in infected erythrocytes
Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is an important virulence factor encoded by a family of 59 var genes, including 56 var genes plus 3 small var3 genes. The var genes are among the most diverse sequences in the P. falciparum genome, but the var3 genes are found conserved in most P. falciparum strains. Previous studies have been mainly focused on the typical var genes,...
