malaria is a parasitic disease that is starting to be encountered in intensive care units (icu) worldwide, owing to increasing globalisation. severe malaria caused by plasmodium falciparum , is characterised by cerebral malaria, acute renal failure, hypoglycaemia, severe anaemia, splenomegaly and alveolar oedema. we present the case of a 25-yr old male patient who presented to the emergency dep...
Trioxaquines, potential antimalarial agents, and heme-artemisinin adducts, resulting from the alkylation of heme by artemisinin, were evaluated as inhibitors of beta-hematin formation in 10 M acetate medium at pH 5.
In parts of Africa and Asia, self-medication with a hot water infusion of Artemisia annua (Artemisia tea) is a common practice for a number of ailments including malaria and cancer. In our earlier work, such an extract showed better potency than artemisinin alone against both chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant parasites. In this study, in vitro tests of the infusion in MCF7 cells showed high ...
The pharmacokinetics of the antimalarial artemisinin exhibited an unusual time dependency during a 7-day oral daily regimen of 500 mg in 10 healthy, male Vietnamese adults. Artemisinin areas under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) decreased to 34% (median) by day 4 with a further decrease by day 7 to only 24% of values obtained after the first day of administration. In seven subjects re...
Because of concerns about possible emergence of artemisinin resistance strains of Plasmodium falciparum in mining areas of the interior of Guyana, a 7-day artesunate trial was conducted from March to December 2014. The day-3 parasite clearance rate, the efficacy of artesunate at day 28, and polymorphism of Kelch 13 (PfK13)-the marker of artemisinin resistance-were assessed. The study confirmed ...
Artemisinin constitutes the frontline treatment to aid rapid clearance of parasitaemia and quick resolution of malarial symptoms. However, the widespread promiscuity about its mechanism of action is baffling. There is no consensus about the biochemical target of artemisinin but recent studies implicate haem and PfATP6 (a calcium pump). We investigated the role of iron and artemisinin on PfATP6,...
Artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites are rapidly spreading in Southeast Asia, yet nothing is known about their transmission. This knowledge gap and the possibility that these parasites will spread to Africa endanger global efforts to eliminate malaria. Here we produce gametocytes from parasite clinical isolates that displayed artemisinin resistance in patients and in vitro, and...
OBJECTIVE Recent reports indicate that first cases of genuine artemisinin resistance have already emerged along the Thai-Cambodian border. The main objective of this trial was to track the potential emergence of artemisinin resistance in Bangladesh, which in terms of drug resistance forms a gateway to the Indian subcontinent. METHODS We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled 42-day c...
ion and allylic carbon radical formation with subsequent triplet ground-state oxygen capture result ultimately in the formation of lipid hydroperoxides. The explicit mechanism depicted in Scheme 1 is supported by the work of Berman and Adams and others, and it was proposed that the damage caused to the parasite’s FV membrane leads to vacuolar rupture and parasite autodigestion.41 This mechanism...
Artemisinin-based therapies are the only effective treatment for malaria, the most devastating disease in human history. To meet the growing demand for artemisinin and make it accessible to the poorest, an inexpensive and rapidly scalable production platform is urgently needed. Here we have developed a new synthetic biology approach, combinatorial supertransformation of transplastomic recipient...
