Background: The use of poor quality antimalarial medicines, including the use of non-recommended medicines for treatment such as sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) monotherapy, undermines malaria control and elimination efforts.

Monitoring antimalarial resistance: launching a cooperative effort
Current information on efficacy of antimalarials is crucial to provide early warning of resistance. A collaborative effort between the Global Malaria Program of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the WorldWide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN) has recently been launched.

N8‐Modified Quino[4,3,2‐Kl]acridines as Promising Antimalarial G‐Quadruplex Ligands
A series of extended aromatic compounds with tunable substituents was synthesized using a multistep methodology which allows various substitutions of the 8H‐quino[4,3,2‐kl]acridine scaffold. This chemical series appeared as a promising way to new antimalarial drug candidates with high activity (IC50 < 100 nM), exhibiting a novel mechanism of action ...

Artemisinin versus nonartemisinin combination therapy for uncomplicated malaria: randomized clinical trials from four sites in Uganda. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum poses a major threat to malaria control. Combination antimalarial therapy including artemisinins has been advocated recently to improve efficacy and limit the spread of resistance, but artemisinins are

Evaluation of two libraries of peptoid‐based compounds for inhibitory activity against PfA‐M1 from Plasmodium falciparum, TcLAP from Trypanosoma cruzi, and LmLAP from Leishmania major reveals the crucial role of hydrophobic interactions in the inhibition process of these parasite metallo‐aminopeptidases.

Leveraging Digital Innovations to Combat Antimalarial Resistance in South and East Africa
Introduction: Given the challenges posed by the escalating burden of malaria and the emergence of antimalarial drug resistance in Southern and Eastern African countries, a collective effort is underway to enhance detection, prevention, and control. Here,

Truncation of Samroiyotmycin: Tailored seco‐Acids as Novel Antimalaria Compounds
Six truncated samroiyotmycin‐derived antimalarials were synthesized by replacing the tosyloxazole unit with electron‐deficient aryl groups. The most active seco‐acid with EWG = 2 × CF3 outperformed the natural product SamA. Its enhanced activity supports a donor–acceptor interaction involving the electron‐poor aryl unit, consistent with inhibition of ...

Bibliometric analysis of antimalarial drug resistance
BackgroundMalaria has always been a serious infectious disease prevalent in the world. Antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine and artemisinin have been the main compounds used to treat malaria. However, the massive use of this type of drugs accelerates the evolution and spread of malaria parasites, leading to the development of resistance.

The Effects of Pharmacogenetics on Pharmacokinetics\ud of Artemisinin-Based Combinations in Malaria Patients [PDF]
Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. If not treated appropriately, human P. falciparum malaria can quickly become life-threatening, leading to an estimated 900’000 annual deaths globally. Key
