isofebrifugine/マラリア

Febrifugine (1) and isofebrifugine (2), isolated from the roots of Dichroa febrifuga Lour. (Chinese name: Cháng Shan), are active principles against malaria. Adducts of 1 and 2 with acetone, Df-1 (3) and Df-2 (4), respectively, were obtained using silica gel and acetone. They showed high activity

The combination effects of chloroquine with a mixture of febrifugine and isofebrifugine were evaluated against a blood-induced infection with chloroquine-resistant P. berghei NK65 in ICR mice. Mice in the untreated control showed a progressively increasing parasitemia leading to mouse death. A

Although febrifugine (1) and isofebrifugine (2), alkaloids isolated from roots of the Dichroa febrifuga plant, show powerful antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, strong side effects such as the emetic effect have precluded their clinical use against malaria. However, their

Quinazolinone type alkaloids, febrifugine (1) and isofebrifugine (2), isolated from Dichroa febrifuga roots, show powerful antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. Unfortunately, their emetic effect and other undesirable side effects have precluded their clinical use for malaria. Because

The antimalarial activity of Hydrangea macrophylla var. Otaksa alkaloids was evaluated against Plasmodium yoelii 17XL, P. berghei NK65 and P. chabaudi AS in ICR mice. For trials in P. yoelii 17XL or P. chabaudi AS infections, mice were infected intraperitoneally with 10(5), 10(6) and 10(7)

Parasitemia patterns, survival and cytokine levels of Plasmodium berghei NK65-infected BALB/c mice, treated orally with the alkaloidal mixture of febrifugine and isofebrifugine at a dose of 1 mg/kg twice a day for 4 consecutive days were monitored. Whereas the untreated mice showed a progressive
