Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy: a cross-sectional survey to assess uptake of the new sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine five dose policy in Ghana

Malaria Journal, 2017
Malaria in pregnancy poses a great risk to both mother and fetus. In Ghana, malaria accounts for 3.4% of deaths and 16.8% of all hospital admissions in pregnant women.

A Novel Antimalarial Agent that Inhibits Protein Synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Compound 31 represents a promising avenue for the development as an antimalarial agent with a potent activity profile (PfNF54 IC50 ± s.d. = 3.9 ± 0.4 nM). It has a novel mode of action by binding to cytosolic ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis in the parasite.

Predicting OCT2/MATEs‐Mediated Drug Interactions in Healthy Volunteers and Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Insights from Extended Clearance Concept, Endogenous Biomarkers, and In Vitro Inhibition Studies (Perspectives from the International Transporter Consortium)

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 and multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporters play significant roles in the renal secretion of organic cations and drug–drug interactions (DDIs). Recent in vitro studies indicate that the Ki values for OCT2 exhibit substrate dependency and increase in potency with pre‐incubation.

A reiterative method for calculating the early bactericidal activity of antituberculosis drugs.

, 2002
Studies of early bactericidal activity (EBA) are important in the rapid evaluation of new antituberculosis drugs. Historically, these have concentrated on the log fall in the viable count in sputum during the first 48 hours of therapy.

Saleability of Anti-malarials in Private Drug Shops in Muheza, Tanzania: A Baseline study in an era of assumed Artemisinin Ccombination Therapy (ACT). [PDF]

, 2011
Artemether-lumefantrine (ALu) replaced sulphadoxine-pymimethamine (SP) as the official first-line anti-malarial in Tanzania in November 2006. So far, artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) is contra-indicated during pregnancy by the national malaria ...

Mechanistic in vitro studies confirm that inhibition of the renal apical efflux transporter multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) 1, and not altered absorption, underlies the increased metformin exposure observed in clinical interactions with cimetidine, trimethoprim or pyrimethamine

Pharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2017
Metformin is a common co‐medication for many diseases and the victim of clinical drug‐drug interactions (DDIs) perpetrated by cimetidine, trimethoprim and pyrimethamine, resulting in decreased active renal clearance due to inhibition of organic cation ...
