Quinine levels in patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria in the Amazon region of Brazil
We examined the plasmatic concentrations of quinine in patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria in an endemic area of the Amazon region in Brazil in a prospective clinical trial, in which a standard three-day course of oral quinine plus doxycycline

Demethylation of Quinine Using Anhydrous Aluminium Trichloride
Quinine is a natural alkaloid having a methoxy group bound to quinoline ring and an allyl group bound to quinuclidine ring. Demethylation of quinine applying strong acid such as HBr or HI at high temperature was unsuccessful. The aim of this research was

Synthesis and Characterization of Carbazole‐Containing Aza[7]helicenes
Double ortho fusion led to different aza[7]helicene frameworks showing strong acidochromic behavior, singlet excited energies being more than twice the triplet energy, and high racemization barriers, allowing chiral resolution and ECD measurements. ABSTRACT Azahelicenes have attracted significant interest due to their intrinsic axial chirality and ...

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