Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes: effects of arylaminobenzoates
Following invasion of the human erythrocyte by the malaria parasite, Plasmodiumfalciparum, there appear in the parasitized cell new, high-capacity permeation pathways that transport a diverse range of low-molecular-mass solutes. In this study a series of 16 arylaminobenzoates, analogues of the Clchannel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (NPPB), were tested for their effects on...
متن کاملArtemisone uptake in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes.
Artemisone is one of the most promising artemisinin derivatives in clinical trials. Previous studies with radiolabeled artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin have measured uptake in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes. Uptake is much greater in infected than in uninfected erythrocytes, but the relative contributions of transport, binding, and metabolism to this process still await definitio...
متن کاملDownstream effects of haemoglobinase inhibition in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes.
Blood-stage malarial parasites (Plasmodium falciparum) digest large quantities of host haemoglobin during their asexual development in erythrocytes. The haemoglobin digestion pathway, involving a succession of cleavages by various peptidases, appears to be essential for parasite development and has received much attention as an antimalarial drug target. A variety of peptidase inhibitors that ha...
متن کاملSeasonal variation in agglutination of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes.
Agglutination and rosette formation are in vitro characteristics of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes, which have been associated with host protective immune responses and also with parasite virulence. The present study was carried out in an area of seasonal and unstable malaria transmission in eastern Sudan. Plasma samples were obtained before, during, and after the transmission seas...
متن کاملIdentification of novel membrane structures in Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes.
Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the release of merozoites from malaria infected erythrocytes. In this study membranous structures present in the culture medium at the time of merozoite release have been characterized. Biochemical and ultrastructural evidence indicate that membranous structures consist of the infected erythrocyte membrane, the parasitophorous vacuolar m...
