Drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum affects prevention of malaria in pregnancy. In a cross-sectional study of 530 pregnant Ghanaian women, P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene mutations linked with pyrimethamine resistance were assessed and associations with pyrimethamine intake were analyzed. P. falciparum infected 69% of women without pyrimethamine use, 59% of those who had ...
The study objective was to determine plasma concentration of pyrimethamine in 24 infants aged 1-5 months, treated for congenital toxoplasmosis. Pyrimethamine was used in a single daily dose at an amount of 0.35-0.98 mg/kg daily, with sulfadiazine (50-100 mg/kg/day) in divided doses 2-3 times a day, and folinic acid given twice a week (7.5 mg). This regimen was continued for 2-6 months, then Fan...
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine has never been recommended for the treatment of Plasmodium vivax malaria as the parasite is intrinsically resistant to pyrimethamine. The combination was introduced as a promising agent to treat Plasmodium falciparum malaria in many countries but was withdrawn after a few years due to development and spread of resistant strains. Presently, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is ...
BACKGROUND Although pyrimethamine (Tindurin) appears to be effective in the prevention and treatment of some infectious diseases, very little information exists on its unpredictable properties. We design this study to evaluate its anti-tumoral effect on a model of cell line. METHODS The cytotoxic influence of Pyrimethamine on prostate cell line was investigated using an in vitro colometric as...
The aim of the present study was to determine the in-vitro susceptibility of Toxoplasma gondii to dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors and sulphonamides alone, and in combination. It was found that pyrimethamine had the most potent anti-Toxoplasma activity, while sulphadiazine, sulphamethoxazole and sulphametrole were approximately equally effective, but only at a high concentration. The 50% inhi...
Pyrimethamine (Daraprim) has been ef fective in treating acute experimental sys temic toxoplasmosis, 1 ' 2 and the work of Ryan 3 and later Perkins 4 suggest that it is of benefit in human ocular disease. Studies by Hogan 5 and Choi 6 on guinea pigs and rabbits raise the possibility, however, that pyri methamine may not penetrate into the eye in sufficient quantity to be effective. Further ...
Pyrimethamine acts by selectively inhibiting malarial dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS). Resistance in the most important human parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, initially results from an S108N mutation in the DHFR domain, with additional mutation (most commonly C59R or N51I or both) imparting much greater resistance. From a homology model of the 3-D structure of DHFR-TS, ra...
Pyrimethamine is used for treatment of malaria and toxoplasmosis. The embryotoxicity and clastogenicity of pyrimethamine is known and our aim was to investigate its dominant lethal effect in vivo. For this purpose, we used three groups of Swiss-albino male mice and a control group. We injected males with doses of 16, 32 or 64 mg/kg pyrimethamine and housed them with 10 females/male for each mat...
despite recent advances in burn wound management, sepsis remains the main cause of death in patients resuscitated after major thermal injury. increased susceptibility to infections has been related to severe suppression of the immune system. the aim of this study was to induce immune suppression with blister fluid injection, and to modulate immune response by use of cimetidine and pyrimethamine...
