Huy, N.Tien.; Kamei, K.; Kondo, Y.; Serada, S.; Kanaori, K.; Takano, R.; Tajima, K.; Hara, S., 2002: Effect of antifungal azoles on the heme detoxification system of malarial parasite. The antimalarial activities of some antifungal azole agents (ketoconazole, miconazole and clotrimazole) have been known for several years, however, their antimalarial mechanism remains equivocal. Our recent study showed that clotrimazole has a rel...

Vikram Pandey, A..; Singh Chauhan, V.., 1998: Heme polymerization by malarial parasite: a potential target for antimalarial drug development. This review discusses: haemozoin formation by Plasmodium; haemozoin and the antimalarial action of quinolones; histidine-rich proteins and haem polymerization; mechanism of haem polymerization.

Avery, M.A.; Alvim-Gaston, M.; Vroman, J.A.; Wu, B.; Ager, A.; Peters, W.; Robinson, B.L.; Charman, W., 2002: Structure-activity relationships of the antimalarial agent artemisinin. 7. Direct modification of (+)-artemisinin and in vivo antimalarial screening of new, potential preclinical antimalarial candidates. On the basis of earlier reported quantitative structure-activity relationship studies, a series of 9beta-16-(arylalkyl)-10-deoxoartemisinins were proposed for synthesis. Several of the new compounds 7 and 10-14 were synthesized employing the key s...

Benoit-Vical, F.; Robert, A.; Meunier, B., 2000: In vitro and in vivo potentiation of artemisinin and synthetic endoperoxide antimalarial drugs by metalloporphyrins. The in vitro potentiation of artemisinin by synthetic manganese porphyrin complexes has been recently reported. Since the activity of artemisinin and synthetic antimalarial endoperoxides is related to their interaction with haem, an improvement of...

O'Neill, P.M.; Bishop, L.P.; Storr, R.C.; Hawley, S.R.; Maggs, J.L.; Ward, S.A.; Park, B.K., 1996: Mechanism-based design of parasite-targeted artemisinin derivatives: synthesis and antimalarial activity of benzylamino and alkylamino ether analogues of artemisinin. Several artemisinin derivatives linked to benzylamino and alkylamino groups were synthesized in order to enhance accumulation within the malaria parasite. The in vitro antimalarial activity was assessed against the chloroquine sensitive HB3 strain...

Debnath, C.; Saha, P.; Ortner, A., 2008: Hemin modified carbon fat electrode for analyzing antimalarial endoperoxide artemisinin in Artemisia annua. A hemin bulk modified carbon electrode with Adeps neutralis (solid fat) as binder was developed for the determination of antimalarial endoperoxide artemisinin in plant matrix. The hemin modified electrode showed significant catalytic activity for...

We report the synthesis of a series of novel epoxy endoperoxide compounds that can be prepared in high yields in one to three steps from simple starting materials. Some of these compounds inhibit the growth of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. Struc...
