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 ...

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 ...

Expression of drug transporters in intestine and blood [PDF]
Proteins that are capable to transport molecules across membranes are fundamental for the accurate functioning of the body. Many diseases have their cause in a dysfunction of a particular transport protein.

Pharmacology of amphetamine-type designer drugs [PDF]
In this thesis project, we studied the pharmacology of long-known psychostimulants and of novel amphetamine-type designer drugs in vitro. On the basis of the pharmacological characterization, we focused on the drug effects in humans, investigating the ...

Aquaporin 2 mutations in Trypanosoma brucei gambiense field isolates correlate with decreased susceptibility to pentamidine and melarsoprol [PDF]
The predominant mechanism of drug resistance in African trypanosomes is decreased drug uptake due to loss-of-function mutations in the genes for the transporters that mediate drug import. The role of transporters as determinants of drug susceptibility is

The striatal dopamine transporter in first-episode, drug-naive schizophrenic patients: evaluation by the new SPECT-ligand[99mTc]TRODAT-1 [PDF]
Following the current hypothesis that acute schizophrenic psychotic illness is associated with a triatal ‘hyperdopaminergic state’, presynaptic integrity and dopamine transporter (DAT) density in first-episode, neuroleptic-naive schizophrenic patients ...

Induction of Drug Transporters Alters Disposition of Risperidone - A Study in Mice
Pharmacokinetic interactions, e.g. modulation of drug transporters like P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier, can be a reason for treatment non-response. This study focuses on the influence of induction of drug transporters on the disposition of the
