Extracellular Vesicles as Drug Transporters
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited particles. According to their size and synthesis pathway, EVs can be classified into exosomes, ectosomes (microvesicles), and apoptotic bodies. Extracellular vesicles are of great interest to the scientific community due to their role in cell-to-cell communication and their drug-carrying ...

Prediction of human drug clearance and anticipation of clinical drug-drug interaction potential from in vitro drug transport studies [PDF]
A major concern in drug development is the characterization of new molecular entities (NMEs) with respect to their safety and efficacy. Both factors are determined by the drug’s exposure within the body which itself is affected by drug clearance ...

Genotypic status of the TbAT1/P2 adenosine transporter of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense isolates from northwestern Uganda following melarsoprol withdrawal [PDF]
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) manifests as a chronic infection caused by <i>Trypanosoma brucei gambiense</i>, or as a more acute form due to <i>T. b. rhodesiense</i>.

Trypanosoma brucei aquaglyceroporin 2 is a high-affinity transporter for pentamidine and melaminophenyl arsenic drugs and the main genetic determinant of resistance to these drugs [PDF]
Objectives: Trypanosoma brucei drug transporters include the TbAT1/P2 aminopurine transporter and the high-affinity pentamidine transporter (HAPT1), but the genetic identity of HAPT1 is unknown. We recently reported that loss of T.

Life cycle studies of the hexose transporter of Plasmodiumspecies and genetic validation of their essentiality [PDF]
A Plasmodium falciparum hexose transporter (PfHT) has previously been shown to be a facilitative glucose and fructose transporter. Its expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes and the use of a glucose analogue inhibitor permitted chemical validation of PfHT ...
