Ein neuer Malariawirkstoff hemmt die Proteinsynthese von Plasmodium falciparum
Die Verbindung 31 stellt einen vielversprechenden Ansatz für die Entwicklung eines Malariawirkstoffs mit einem starken Wirkungsprofil dar (PfNF54 IC50 ± s.d. = 3,9 ± 0,4 nM). Sie hat einen neuartigen Wirkmechanismus, indem sie an zytosolische Ribosomen‐Untereinheiten bindet und dadurch die Proteinsynthese im Parasiten hemmt.

Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Estimation of Artesunate and Mefloquine
A simple, rapid, precise, and accurate UV-visible spectrophotometric method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of Artesunate in combination with Mefloquine. For developing the method, methanol was used as a solvent.

Adherence to a Six-Dose Regimen of Artemether-Lumefantrine for Treatment of Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in Uganda. [PDF]
Measuring baseline levels of adherence and identifying risk factors for non-adherence are important steps before the introduction of new antimalarials. In Mbarara in southwestern Uganda, we assessed adherence to artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) in its ...

A Novel Antimalarial Agent that Inhibits Protein Synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum
Compound 31 represents a promising avenue for the development as an antimalarial agent with a potent activity profile (PfNF54 IC50 ± s.d. = 3.9 ± 0.4 nM). It has a novel mode of action by binding to cytosolic ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis in the parasite.

Artemisinin: From Chinese Herbal Medicine to Modern Chemotherapy [PDF]
Malaria is a disease that has blighted humankind since early times. The first antimalarial treatment available to Europeans was the dried bark of the cinchona tree from Peru. The main problem in its use was adulteration by other material.

ABSTRACT Strategies have been employed to address antimalarial drug resistance, including the exploration of new therapeutic targets. In this study, the stem bark of Dalbergia miscolobium was investigated using in vitro assays against Plasmodium falciparum and pyruvate kinase II (PyrKII), an essential enzyme for parasite development.

Stimulation of Suicidal Erythrocyte Death by Artesunate
Background: The artemisinin derivative artesunate is effective in the treatment of severe malaria and is considered for the treatment of malignancy. Artesunate triggers tumor cell apoptosis, an effect at least in part mediated by mitochondria.

Artemether resistance in vitro is linked to mutations in PfATP6 that also interact with mutations in PfMDR1 in travellers returning with Plasmodium falciparum infections. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Monitoring resistance phenotypes for Plasmodium falciparum, using in vitro growth assays, and relating findings to parasite genotype has proved particularly challenging for the study of resistance to artemisinins.

Recent studies emphasize alternative functions of FTH1 relevant for nuclear processes, such as transcriptional regulation. This study shows a novel FTH1/BRD2 association in non‐small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). This nuclear interaction affects BRD2 protein stability in aggressive NSCLC cells.

Are transnational tobacco companies' market access strategies linked to economic development models? A case study of South Korea. [PDF]
Transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) have used varied strategies to access previously closed markets. Using TTCs' efforts to enter the South Korean market from the late 1980s as a case study, this article asks whether there are common patterns in these
