Performance of rapid diagnostic tests for imported malaria in clinical practice: results of a national multicenter study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
We compared the performance of four rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for imported malaria, and particularly Plasmodium falciparum infection, using thick and thin blood smears as the gold standard.

Application of commercial ultrafiltration membranes for protein purification by high performance countercurrent membrane purification (HPCMP)

open access: yesBiotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract High performance countercurrent membrane purification (HPCMP) has emerged as a promising diffusive separation strategy for the purification of recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). However, prior studies employed dialysis membranes, which are designed for diffusive separations but have not been validated for biopharmaceutical ...

Spotlight on the Nucleotide: Solid‐State NMR for the Investigation of ATP Hydrolysis in the ATPase SmsC

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Nucleotide‐detected solid‐state NMR has been applied to probe nucleotide conformations and dynamics during ATP hydrolysis using the dimeric P‐loop ATPase SmsC as a model protein. The different stages of ATP hydrolysis have been mimicked by ATP analogues for which different degrees of conformational heterogeneity have been observed. ABSTRACT Solid‐state

Repurposing Drugs for Malaria through a Human Dose Prediction: A Case Study with Berzosertib

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Repurposing drugs whose clinical safety has been established offers a valuable approach to reduce the cost and time associated with the development of new drugs for malaria. Here, we investigate the potential to repurpose the anticancer kinase inhibitor berzosertib for the treatment of malaria, by assessing whether a predicted efficacious human dose ...

Truncation of Samroiyotmycin: Tailored seco‐Acids as Novel Antimalaria Compounds

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Six truncated samroiyotmycin‐derived antimalarials were synthesized by replacing the tosyloxazole unit with electron‐deficient aryl groups. The most active seco‐acid with EWG = 2 × CF3 outperformed the natural product SamA. Its enhanced activity supports a donor–acceptor interaction involving the electron‐poor aryl unit, consistent with inhibition of ...

Plasmodium falciparum Containment Strategy [PDF]

open access: yesMedical Journal Armed Forces India, 2008
World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 1.7-2.5 million deaths and 300-500 million cases of malaria each year globally. As an initiative WHO has announced Roll Back Malaria (RBM) programme aimed at 50% reduction in deaths due to malaria by 2010. The RBM strategy recommends combination approach with prevention, care, creating sustainable demand for ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Performance of Microscopy for the Diagnosis of Malaria and Human African Trypanosomiasis by Diagnostic Laboratories in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Results of a Nation-Wide External Quality Assessment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The present External Quality Assessment (EQA) assessed microscopy of blood parasites among diagnostic laboratories in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The EQA addressed 445 participants in 10/11 provinces (October 2013-April 2014). Participants were

Hydroxamic Acids as HDAC Inhibitor Drug Leads for Malaria

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a global health threat, with an estimated 282 million cases and 610,000 malaria‐associated deaths reported in 2024. Most mortality is due to infection by Plasmodium falciparum parasites, with the highest burden occurring in Sub‐Saharan Africa.

Sequence analysis of genes associated with resistance to chloroquine and sulphadoxine pyrimethamine in P. falciparum and P. vivax isolates from the Bannu district of Pakistan

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013
Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum are becoming resistant to drugs including antifolates, sulphonamides and chloroquine. This study was focused at sequence analysis of resistant genes of these parasites against sulphadoxine–pyrimethamine and ...
