Hybrid Molecules as Efficient Drugs against Multidrug‐Resistant Malaria Parasites
Among hybrid molecules currently developed as antimalarial drug candidates, emoquine‐1 exhibits high activity against all the multidrug‐resistant Plasmodium strains tested up to now, including artemisinin‐resistant quiescent parasites, critical parameters for promising antimalarial drugs. It is also curative in mouse malaria.

Effects of immunization and checkpoint inhibition on amodiaquine-induced liver injury
If idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is immune-mediated, it is possible that an individual’s prior exposure to antigens may affect their susceptibility to IDILI.

Artemisinin‐based combination therapy (ACT) is the first‐line therapy for uncomplicated falciparum malaria, but artemisinin resistance in Asia and now sub‐Saharan Africa is threatening our ability to control and eliminate malaria. Triple‐ACTs have emerged as a viable alternative treatment to combat declining ACT efficacy due to drug‐resistant malaria ...

High Efficacy of Two Artemisinin-Based Combinations (Artesunate + Amodiaquine and Artemether + Lumefantrine) in Caala, Central Angola. [PDF]
In April 2004, 137 children 6-59 months of age with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) malaria (Caala, Central Angola) were randomized to receive either artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) or artesunate + amodiaquine (ASAQ).

Reduction of transmission from malaria patients by artemisinin combination therapies: a pooled analysis of six randomized trials. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Artemisinin combination therapies (ACT), which are increasingly being introduced for treatment of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, are more effective against sexual stage parasites (gametocytes) than previous first-line antimalarials and ...

Abstract Fezolinetant is an oral, nonhormonal, neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist treatment option for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. An in vitro study using human recombinant cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and human liver microsomes showed that fezolinetant is metabolized to its major but inactive metabolite, ES259564 ...

ABSTRACT Treatment of breastfeeding mothers with malaria is challenging due to the lack of information describing drug exposure in milk and the daily dose to the breastfed infant. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling was used to predict milk‐to‐plasma (M/P) ratios, infant daily doses (IDD) and relative infant doses (RID) for five ...
