Modified fixed-ratio isobologram method for studying in vitro interactions between atovaquone and proguanil or dihydroartemisinin against drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum.
A modified fixed-ratio isobologram method for studying the in vitro interactions between antiplasmodial drugs is described. This method was used to examine the interactions between atovaquone, proguanil, and dihydroartemisinin. The interaction between atovaquone and proguanil was synergistic against atovaquone-sensitive strains K1 and T996; however, there was a loss of synergy against atovaquon...
متن کاملPlasmodium falciparum Malaria and Atovaquone-Proguanil Treatment Failure
We noticed overrepresentation of atovaquone-proguanil therapeutic failures among Plasmodium falciparum-infected travelers weighing >100 kg. We report here 1 of these cases, which was not due to resistant parasites or impaired drug bioavailability. The follow-up of such patients should be strengthened.
متن کاملBiguanide-atovaquone synergy against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro.
The synergistic potential of a range of biguanides, their triazine metabolites, tetracyclines, and pyrimethamine in combination with atovaquone has been assessed. All five biguanides tested interacted synergistically with atovaquone against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. All of the other compounds tested were either additive or antagonistic.

Contributors: HTOD and TGR designed the study; C-LH collected the data and did the analysis; HTOD led on writing the paper, with substantial contributions from TGR and C-LH. HTOD acts as guarantor. Funding: Nuffield Trust, London, and the Commonwealth Fund, New York. The guarantor accepts full responsibility for the conduct of the study, had access to the data, and controlled the decision to pu...
متن کاملIn vitro interactions of artemisinin with atovaquone, quinine, and mefloquine against Plasmodium falciparum.
The interactions of artemisinin with atovaquone, quinine, and mefloquine were investigated in three Plasmodium falciparum strains (strains F-32, FCR-3, and K-1) by an in vitro culture assay. The parasites were cultured for 48 h in the presence of different concentrations and proportions of two drugs at a time in a checkerboard design. The response parameters were determined, and the sums of the...
