Antimalarial drugs

OECD guidelines were applied. Mice were divided into 7 groups consisting of 30 females and 10 males each. In which, the control group received the solvent, only females or males in 4 other groups were taken the testing samples (32), and both females and males of 2 remain groups were given those samples. Mice were given oral samples at a dose of 288 or 576 mg/kg/day × 7 consecutive days depending on individual group.

Thioredoxins are a group of small redox-active proteins involved in cellular redox regulatory processes as well as antioxidant defense. Thioredoxin, glutaredoxin, and try-paredoxin are members of the thioredoxin superfamily and share structural and functional characteristics. In the mal-arial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, a functional thio-redoxin and glutathione system have been demonstrated and are considered to be attractive targets for antimalarial drug development.

Malaria remains a major health problem especially in trop-ical and subtropical regions of the world, and therefore developing new antimalarial drugs constitutes an urgent challenge. Lipid metabolism has been attracting a lot of attention as an application for malarial chemotherapeutic purposes in recent years. However, little is known about glycosphingolipid biosynthesis inPlasmodium falciparum. In this report we describe for the first time the presence of an active glucosylceramide synthase in the intraerythrocytic stages of the parasite....

Of the fourPlasmodiumspecies that cause human malaria,Plasmodium fal-ciparumis responsible for the most severe form of the disease and this par-asite is developing resistance to the major antimalarial drugs. Therefore, in order to control malaria it is necessary to identify new drug targets.

Despite intensive research extending back to the 1930s, when the first syn-thetic antimalarial drugs made their appearance, the repertoire of clinically licensed formulations remains very limited. Moreover, widespread and increasing resistance to these drugs contributes enormously to the difficul-ties in controlling malaria, posing considerable intellectual, technical and humanitarian challenges.

Most drugs against malaria that are available or under development target a single process of the parasite infective cycle, favouring the appearance of resistant mutants which are easily spread in areas under chemotherapeutic treatments.
