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 ...

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 ...

Constant-ratio combination of atovaquone and proguanil.
The dose-response curves for atovaquone (ATQ), proguanil (PG) and the constant-ratio combination of the two drugs (a). Ring stage parasites were treated for 72 hours and analysed using the SG-FCM method.

Deciphering Hepatic Dilemmas: A Case of Acute Hepatitis Following Malaria Treatment
Malaria can be a life‐threatening disease, but it rarely presents with acute hepatitis. This case reports the medical course of a 55‐year‐old African woman afflicted with P. falciparum malaria, recently treated in Cameroon, who presented with jaundice and transaminitis. Her liver biopsy indicated cholestatic hepatitis.

Gametogenesis in malaria parasites is mediated by the cGMP-dependent protein kinase. [PDF]
Malaria parasite transmission requires differentiation of male and female gametocytes into gametes within a mosquito following a blood meal. A mosquito-derived molecule, xanthurenic acid (XA), can trigger gametogenesis, but the signalling events ...

Truncation of the dihydroquinazolinone scaffold produced analogues with potent antimalarial activity against the asexual blood and transmission stages of the malaria parasite's lifecycle by targeting PfATP4. Enhancing the metabolic stability and aqueous solubility remains a challenge to achieve curative efficacy in a mouse model to demonstrate the ...

Abstract Proguanil, an antimalarial drug, undergoes hepatic uptake by the polymorphic organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) and is subsequently metabolized by the cytochrome P‐450 2C19 (CYP2C19) enzyme into its active metabolite, cycloguanil. This study aims to evaluate and mechanistically characterize the effect of genetic polymorphism of SLC22A1, which

Activity of piperaquine and other 4-aminoquinoline antiplasmodial drugs against chloroquine-sensitive and resistant blood-stages of Plasmodium falciparum. Role of beta-haematin inhibition and drug concentration in vacuolar water- and lipid-phases. [PDF]
Chloroquine (CQ), a 4-aminoquinoline, accumulates in acidic digestive vacuoles of the malaria parasite, preventing conversion of toxic haematin to beta-haematin.

Virtue ethics and the unsettled ethical questions in controlled human infection studies
Abstract Controlled human infection studies (CHIs) involve the intentional infection of human subjects for a scientific aim. Though some past challenge trials have involved serious ethical abuses, in the last few decades, CHIs have had a strong track record of safety.
