Assessment of the Teratogenic Effect of Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine on the Chicken Embryo
Background. The sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine combination is a product used in the intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) of malaria in pregnant women in our country. To date, there is very little data on the teratogenic effect of this product. This study proposed to evaluate the teratogenic effect of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine on chicken embryos. Methods.

A roadmap for understanding sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in malaria chemoprevention. [PDF]
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is the standard of care for Plasmodium falciparum malaria chemoprevention among pregnant women, infants, and children. However, SP’s antimalarial effectiveness is potentially threatened by resistant parasites. Developing alternative chemoprevention products and other prevention products, such as vaccines and monoclonal ...

Artesunate-, sulfadoxine-, and pyrimethamine-induced cardiotoxicity
Here, we report oral artesunate, sulphadoxine and pyrimethamine (sp) induced cardio toxicity case in a female patient. Artesunate is a highly efficacious and relatively safe antimalarial drug. Common adverse reactions to artemisinin derivatives are mild i.e. nausea, vomiting, anorexia and dizziness which are seen in majority of the patients.

Spectrophotometric Estimation of Sulfadoxine in Pharmaceutical Preparations
Four simple, sensitive, accurate and rapid visible spectrophotometric methods (A, B, C and D) have been developed for the estimation of sulfadoxine in pharmaceutical preparations. They are based on the diazotization of sulfadoxine with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid followed by coupling with N‐(1‐naphthyl) ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (Method ...

Origin and Evolution of Sulfadoxine Resistant Plasmodium falciparum
The Thailand-Cambodia border is the epicenter for drug-resistant falciparum malaria. Previous studies have shown that chloroquine (CQ) and pyrimethamine resistance originated in this region and eventually spread to other Asian countries and Africa. However, there is a dearth in understanding the origin and evolution of dhps alleles associated with ...

Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus artesunate versus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine for treating uncomplicated malaria [PDF]
Artemisinin-based combination treatments are strongly advocated, but supplies are limited. Sulfadoxine combined with amodiaquine is an alternative non-artemisinin combination.To compare sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine (SP plus AQ) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus artesunate (SP plus AS) for treating uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum ...

Sulfadoxine specific lymphocyte transformation in a patient with eosinophilic pneumonia induced by sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (Fansidar). [PDF]
A patient developed eosinophilic peripheral pulmonary infiltrates while receiving malaria prophylaxis with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (Fansidar). Withdrawal of Fansidar and treatment with corticosteroids led to rapid recovery. No exacerbation occurred after cessation of corticosteroids.

Antimalarial efficacy of sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine, amodiaquine and a combination of chloroquine plus sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine in Bundi Bugyo, western Uganda [PDF]
SummaryWe report below an in vivo antimalarial efficacy study conducted in 2002 in Bundi Bugyo, a district of western Uganda housing a large displaced population. We tested sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine (SP), amodiaquine (AQ) and the combination chloroquine plus SP (CQ + SP).
