Journal ArticleDOI
Antimalarial activity of lactucin and lactucopicrin: sesquiterpene lactones isolated from Cichorium intybus L.
Theodore A. Bischoff,Charles J. Kelley,Yvette Karchesy,Maria Laurantos,Phuc Nguyen-Dinh,Abdul Ghafoor Arefi +5 more
TL;DR: Preparative isolation and bioassay against HB3 clone of strain Honduras-1 of Plasmodium falciparum identified the previously known light-sensitive sesquiterpene lactones Lactucin and L lactucopicrin to be antimalarial compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor and severe malaria.
Nathan Shaffer,Georges E. Grau,Katrina Hedberg,Farzin Davachi,Bongo Lyamba,Allen W. Hightower,Joel G. Breman,Phuc Nguyen-Dinh +7 more
TL;DR: TNF alpha levels increased with parasite density and were associated with hyperparasitemia, severe anemia, hypoglycemia, and young age but not with cerebral malaria or fatal outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between malaria, blood transfusions, and HIV seropositivity in a pediatric population in Kinshasa, Zaire.
Alan E. Greenberg,Phuc Nguyen-Dinh,Jonathan M. Mann,Ndoko Kabote,Robert L. Colebunders,Henry Francis,Thomas C. Quinn,Paola Baudoux,Bongo Lyamba,Farzin Davachi,Jacquelin M. Roberts,Ngandu Kabeya,James Curran,Carlos C. Campbell +13 more
TL;DR: There was a strong dose-response association between transfusions and HIV seropositivity and the treatment of malaria with blood transfusions is an important factor in the exposure of Kinshasa children to HIV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amodiaquine as a prodrug: importance of metabolite(s) in the antimalarial effect of amodiaquine in humans.
Frederick C. Churchill,Leslie C. Patchen,Carlos C. Campbell,Ira K. Schwartz,Phuc Nguyen-Dinh,Charlotte M. Dickinson +5 more
TL;DR: A reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is developed that separates the two major metabolites from each other and from amodiaquine, allowing separate quantification.
Journal Article
Absence of association between Plasmodium falciparum malaria and human immunodeficiency virus infection in children in Kinshasa, Zaire.
Phuc Nguyen-Dinh,Alan E. Greenberg,Jonathan M. Mann,N Kabote,Henry Francis,R L Colebunders,A Y Huong,T C Quinn,Farzin Davachi,Bongo Lyamba +9 more
TL;DR: In Kinshasa children, P. falciparum malaria is a major public health problem; perinatal transmission and blood transfusions constitute important mechanisms of HIV infection; and P. Falcon does not appear to act as an opportunistic agent in children infected with HIV.
