Background The naturally fluorescent compound quinine has long been used to treat malaria infections. Although some evidence suggests that quinine acts in the parasite food vacuole, the mechanism of action of quinine has not yet been resolved.

Heterologous expression of functional human P-gp and PfMDR1 in Xenopus oocytes.
(a) Schematic showing the transport of a [3H]drug via human P-gp or PfMDR1 in the Xenopus oocyte system. (b) The relationship between the quantity of human P-gp cRNA injected into the oocyte and the level of human P-gp–mediated [3H]vinblastine transport ...

Intrahost selection of Plasmodium falciparum pfmdr1 alleles after antimalarial treatment on the northwestern border of Thailand. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Increased pfmdr1 copy number is associated with reduced susceptibility to structurally unrelated antimalarial drugs. We assessed how administration of different antimalarial drugs altered pfmdr1 polymorphism in parasites from patients who ...

Iron chelator IV does not affect drug transport via PfMDR1.
Measurements of [3H]dihydroartemisinin transport via PfMDR1 were made in the presence of the iron chelator IV to bind any free iron present in the oocyte.
