Quinine was compared with a 9-phenanthrene methanol (WR33063) and a 4-quinoline methanol (WR30090) for the treatment of 207 patients with falciparum malaria in Southeast Thailand. Quinine eradicated parasitaemia (average 70 hours) more rapidly than either WR30090 (72 hours) or WR33063 (77 hours).
Dengue virus causes dengue fever, a debilitating disease with an increasing incidence in many tropical and subtropical territories. So far, there are no effective antivirals licensed to treat this virus. Here we describe the synthesis and antiviral activity evaluation of two compounds based on the
Adequately designed multiresponsive water-soluble graft copolymers were used to serve as a multifunctional polymeric platform for the encapsulation and transfer in aqueous media of hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The backbone of the graft copolymers was composed of hydrophilic sodium
BACKGROUND
The naturally occurring alkaloid drug, quinine is commonly used for the treatment of severe malaria. Despite centuries of use, its metabolism is still not fully understood, and may play a role in the haemolytic disorders associated with the drug.
METHODS
Incubations of quinine with CYPs
The stress-induced hyperthermia test is a paradigm developed several years ago to model the expression of autonomic hyperactivity in anxiety. Whereas in the classical stress-induced hyperthermia, cohort removal was used, in a recently described modification of the stress-induced hyperthermia model
A virtual screening analysis of our library of phytochemical structures with dengue virus protein targets has been carried out using a molecular docking approach. A total of 2194 plant-derived secondary metabolites have been docked. This molecule set comprised of 290 alkaloids (68 indole alkaloids,
OBJECTIVE
To compare therapeutic effects of acup-moxibustion combined with western medicine and simple western medicine on child malaria in Africa.
METHODS
One hundred and thirty-two cases were randomly divided into an acup-moxibustion plus western medicine group (n = 67) and a western medication
A group of 300 young European adults visiting Gabon for relatively short periods was surveyed monthly for malaria from a parasitological, clinical, immunological, hematological point of view. The regular increase of fevers due to malaria from 1984 to 1988 and the multiplication of cases of
The authors recorded clinical histories and tested serum for the presence of malaria fluorescent antibodies in 160 healthy Europeans who had been living for more than 4 weeks in West or Central Africa. Malaria or fever of unknown origin occurred in 37 of 50 subjects who were careless about taking
Several drugs are used for malaria chemoprophylaxis: 4 amino-quinolines, antifolics, combinations of sulfonamides and antifolics, and new anti-malarial agents, including mefloquine. The indications and contra-indications of their use are reviewed with respect to their tolerance and pharmacokinetics.
In the present study, we determined whether a pan caspase inhibitor could prevent or attenuate heat-induced germ cell apoptosis. Groups of five adult (8 wk old) C57BL/6 mice pretreated with vehicle (DMSO) or Quinoline-Val-Asp (Ome)-CH2-O-Ph (Q-VD-OPH), a new generation broad-spectrum caspase
A series of 2-[(2-aminoethyl)thio]quinolines substituted at the 3-position with alkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl groups has been prepared in the search for novel and selective 5-HT2 antagonists. The affinity of the compounds for 5-HT1 receptor sites was measured by their ability to displace [3H]-5-HT from
An interesting neurological syndrome, characterized by recurrent optic neuritis, cervical myelopathy from syringomyelia, paraparesis, amenorrhea-galactorrhea, and other endocrine problems, has been described among young black women in the French West Indies. The etiology remains unknown, but
OBJECTIVE
To assess the haemodynamic, electrocardiographic and glycaemic effects of piperaquine-dihydroartemisinin (Artekin) fixed combination therapy in uncomplicated malaria.
METHODS
Sixty-two Cambodians (32 children and 30 adults) with falciparum or vivax malaria were given Artekin given as four
Malaria chemoprevention using mefloquine has become the WHO standard regimen for military personnel who stay in the endemic area for an extended period of time. We reported a case of Plasmodium ovale infection in a young Indonesian Soldier following one year mefloquine prophylaxis 250 mg weekly.
