Mode of action and choice of antimalarial drugs for intermittent preventive treatment in infants.

, 2009
Intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) is an effective and safe malaria control strategy. However, it remains unclear what antimalarials should be used to replace sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) when and where SP is no longer an effective ...

Invasive bacterial infections in Gambians with sickle cell anaemia in an era of widespread Pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccination [PDF]

, 2016
Background: There is relatively little data on the aetiology of bacterial infections in patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) in West Africa, and no data from countries that have implemented conjugate vaccines against both Streptococcus pneumoniae and ...

Altered life history strategies protect malaria parasites against drugs

Evolutionary Applications, 2018
Drug resistance has been reported against all antimalarial drugs, and while parasites can evolve classical resistance mechanisms (e.g., efflux pumps), it is also possible that changes in life history traits could help parasites evade the effects of ...

Adherence to a Six-Dose Regimen of Artemether-Lumefantrine for Treatment of Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in Uganda. [PDF]

, 2004
Measuring baseline levels of adherence and identifying risk factors for non-adherence are important steps before the introduction of new antimalarials. In Mbarara in southwestern Uganda, we assessed adherence to artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) in its ...

Pharmacokinetics of Sulfadoxine and Pyrimethamine for Intermittent Preventive Treatment of Malaria During Pregnancy and After Delivery

CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology, 2017
Sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine is recommended for intermittent preventative treatment of malaria during pregnancy. Data from 98 women during pregnancy and 77 after delivery in four African countries were analyzed using nonlinear mixed‐effects modeling to ...

Strategy for Identifying Rational Sensitivity Analysis Using PBPK Modeling for Precipitant Drug–Drug Interaction Predictions

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 119, Issue 2, Page 314-317, February 2026.
Physiology Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is an established essential tool for predicting and/or analyzing drug–drug interactions (DDI). Uncertainty and variability associated with in vitro determined DDI‐related parameters have often been considered a limitation for predicting PBPK‐DDIs.

Adherence to the combination of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine and artesunate in the Maheba refugee settlement, Zambia. [PDF]

, 2004
Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is one strategy recommended to increase cure rates in malaria and to contain resistance to Plasmodium falciparum. In the Maheba refugee settlement, children aged 5 years or younger with a confirmed diagnosis of

Pyrimethamine significantly lowers cerebrospinal fluid Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients with SOD1 mutations

Annals of Neurology, 2017
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) reduction prolongs survival in SOD1‐transgenic animal models. Pyrimethamine produces dose‐dependent SOD1 reduction in cell culture systems.
