Safety and tolerability of single low-dose primaquine in a low-intensity transmission area in South Africa: an open-label, randomized controlled trial

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2019
Background To reduce onward falciparum malaria transmission, the World Health Organization recommends adding single low-dose (SLD) primaquine to artemisinin-based combination treatment in low transmission areas. However, uptake of this recommendation has

Activity Profiling of Nitro‐Substituted Di(Hetero)Aryl 1,3,4‐ and 1,2,4‐Oxadiazoles: Antimicrobial, Cholinesterase Inhibition and Antioxidant Potential

open access: yesArchiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 1, January 2026.
Novel nitro‐substituted diaryl 1,3,4‐ and 1,2,4‐oxadiazoles were synthesised via molecular hybridisation of bioactive heterocycles. Selected derivatives exhibited potent antimicrobial activity, including against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus, and cholinesterase inhibitory activity, with promising selectivity.

Pharmacogenomic Calling From Whole‐Exome Sequencing in the Taiwanese Population—A Real‐World Experience

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study evaluated pharmacogenomic (PGx) calling from whole‐exome sequencing (WES) in 3562 Taiwanese individuals. Fourteen pharmacogenes were reliably identified, with each person carrying an average of ~2.4 actionable phenotypes. The high actionable frequencies of G6PD deficiency and HLA‐B*58:01 highlight ethnic differences and support WES as a ...
