Dr.Emb Appyter: A web platform for drug discovery using embedding vectors
Dr.Emb Appyter is a user‐friendly web platform for drug discovery that uses embedding vectors to map chemical compounds and locate similar compounds closely in latent space. It efficiently identifies closely located compounds of query compounds using Faiss and provides visualizations such as 3D scatter plots, heatmaps, UpSet plots, and Drug‐Set ...

Efficacy and safety of primaquine and methylene blue for prevention of Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Mali: a phase 2, single-blind, randomised controlled trial. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Primaquine and methylene blue are gametocytocidal compounds that could prevent Plasmodium falciparum transmission to mosquitoes. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of primaquine and methylene blue in preventing human to mosquito ...

Medications and Acute Hemolysis in G6PD‐Deficient Patients – A Real‐World Study
Many drug labels contain precautions of use in G6PD‐deficient patients due to hemolytic concerns, but much of this is based on scarce clinical, epidemiological, or structural data. In this real‐world study, we aimed to examine if the administration of presumably risky medications for G6PD‐deficient patients was followed by hemolysis. The study is based

Scalable Preparation and Differential Pharmacologic and Toxicologic Profiles of Primaquine Enantiomers [PDF]
Hematotoxicity in individuals genetically deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity is the major limitation of primaquine (PQ), the only antimalarial drug in clinical use for treatment of relapsing Plasmodium vivax malaria.

Dihydropteroate synthase gene mutations in Pneumocystis and sulfa resistance [PDF]
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) remains a major cause of illness and death in HIV-infected persons. Sulfa drugs, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and dapsone are mainstays of PCP treatment and prophylaxis.

Molecular Markers for Sensitive Detection of Plasmodium falciparum Asexual Stage Parasites and their Application in a Malaria Clinical Trial. [PDF]
Plasmodium falciparum parasite life stages respond differently to antimalarial drugs. Sensitive stage-specific molecular assays may help to examine parasite dynamics at microscopically detectable and submicroscopic parasite densities in epidemiological ...

Genetics of a Primaquin-resistant Yeast
Primaquin specifically inhibits mitochondrial function in yeast. Mutants resistant to primaquin have been isolated. Genetic analysis revealed that the expression of resistance in one of them was under the control of both a nuclear gene and a cytoplasmic factor (possibly a mitochondrial gene).

A RARE GLIMPSE AT THE EFFICACY OF PRIMAQUINE
Primaquine, the only tool in our drug toolbox for preventing relapse of Plasmodium vivax or P. ovale malaria, may be the most enigmatic of the most commonly prescribed drugs today. Despite more than 50 years of continuous use by millions of people each year, we do not understand how it works.
