Novel molecule combinations and corresponding hybrids targeting artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites

چکیده
Malaria is still considered as the major parasitic disease and development of artemisinin resistance does not improve this alarming situation. Based on recent identification relevant malaria targets in context, novel drug combinations were evaluated against artemisinin-sensitive artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites. Corresponding hybrid molecules also synthesized for comparison with individual pharmacophores (e.g. atovaquone, mefloquine or triclosan). Combinations hybrids showed remarkable antimalarial activity (IC 50 = 0.6 to 1.1 nM best compounds), strong selectivity, didn’t present any cross-resistance artemisinin. Moreover, combination triclosan + atovaquone high parasites at quiescent stage but corresponding lost pharmacological property. This result essential since only few active are reported. Our promising results highlight potential these paves way pharmacomodulation work hybrids.

Laboratory Detection of Artemisinin-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum
Conventional 48-h in vitro susceptibility tests have low sensitivity in identifying artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum, defined phenotypically by low in vivo parasite clearance rates. We hypothesized originally that this discrepancy was explained by a loss of ring-stage susceptibility and so developed a simple field-adapted 24-h trophozoite maturation inhibition (TMI) assay focusing on...

Plasmodium falciparum parasites have been endemic to Haiti for >40 years without evidence of chloroquine (CQ) resistance. In 2006 and 2007, we obtained blood smears for rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and filter paper blots of blood from 821 persons by passive and active case detection. P. falciparum infections diagnosed for 79 persons by blood smear or RDT were confirmed by PCR for the small sub...

Dogs can have patent B. procyonis parasite infections and can play a role in transmission of the parasite from raccoons to humans. In Costa Rica, cases of larva migrans have been reported.

متن کاملHaem-activated promiscuous targeting of artemisinin in Plasmodium falciparum
The mechanism of action of artemisinin and its derivatives, the most potent of the anti-malarial drugs, is not completely understood. Here we present an unbiased chemical proteomics analysis to directly explore this mechanism in Plasmodium falciparum. We use an alkyne-tagged artemisinin analogue coupled with biotin to identify 124 artemisinin covalent binding protein targets, many of which are ...
