Effects of piperaquine, chloroquine, and amodiaquine on drug uptake and of these in combination with dihydroartemisinin against drug-sensitive and -resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains

open access: yes, 2007
Piperaquine is being developed as a long-acting component in artemisinin combination therapies. It was highly active in vitro and drug interaction studies showed that dihydroartemisinin combinations with piperaquine, chloroquine, and amodiaquine were ...

The Rare, the Best: Spread of Antimalarial-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum Parasites by Anopheles Mosquito Vectors

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
The emergence of resistance to antimalarials has prompted the steady switch to novel therapies for decades. Withdrawal of antimalarials, such as chloroquine in sub-Saharan Africa in the late 1990s, led to rapid declines in the prevalence of resistance ...

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Structural Control of Stromal‐Immune Coupling by COL24A1 Underlies Pregnancy Maintenance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
COL24A1 emerges as a collagen‐associated regulator of maternal‐fetal interface homeostasis. Its deficiency promotes a maladaptive TIMP1‐high stromal state, impaired ECM turnover, collagen accumulation, and stromal–immune dysregulation, contributing to pregnancy loss.

Blood schizontocidal activity of methylene blue in combination with antimalarials against Plasmodium falciparum

open access: yesParasite, 2007
Methylene blue (MB) is the oldest synthetic antimalarial. It is not used anymore as antimalarial but should be reconsidered. For this purpose we have measured its impact on both chloroquine sensitive and resistant Plasmodium strains.

Amazonian Plant Natural Products: Perspectives for Discovery of New Antimalarial Drug Leads

open access: yesMolecules, 2013
Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax malaria parasites are now resistant, or showing signs of resistance, to most drugs used in therapy. Novel chemical entities that exhibit new mechanisms of antiplasmodial action are needed.
