Highly potent anti-malarial activity of benzopyrano(4,3-b)benzopyran derivatives and in silico interaction analysis with putative target Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase.

TLDR
In this article, a rapid increase in resistance to existing drugs has posed an urgent problem for the treatment of Malaria infection caused by Plasmodium falciparum.
Abstract
Malaria infection caused by Plasmodium falciparum is majorly responsible for millions of deaths in humans every year. Moreover, a rapid increase in resistance to existing drugs has posed an urgent ...

2D-quantitative structure-activity relationships model using PLS method for anti-malarial activities of anti-haemozoin compounds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed two-dimensional-quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) models of a series of 21 haemozoin inhibitors to explore the useful physicochemical parameters of the active compounds for estimation of anti-malarial activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Naturally Occurring 8ß,13ß-kaur-15-en-17-al and Anti-Malarial Activity from Podocarpus polystachyus Leaves

TL;DR: In this article , the anti-malarial evaluation of Podocarpus polystachyus phytoconstituents was investigated for the first time, and a new natural product, 8ß,13ß-kaur-15-en-17-al (1), along with three known compounds, including α-tocopherol hydroquinone (4), were isolated via HR-ESI-MS and NMR analyses.

Identification of starvation-mimetic bioactive phytocomponent from Withania somnifera using in-silico molecular modelling and flow cytometry-based analysis for the management of malaria.

TL;DR: In this article , a C28 steroidal lactone Withaferin A (WS-3) isolated from Withania somnifera leave extract shows better thermodynamically stable interactions with the glucose transporters (GLUT-1 and PfHT) to standard drugs metformin and lopinavir.

Serum factors governing intraerythrocytic development and cell cycle progression of Plasmodium falciparum.

TL;DR: This study can be a basis to explore the molecular mechanism of lipid traffic within the parasitized red blood cell (RBC), which can be an important adjunct to the development of drugs for malaria therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential effects of 4-aminoquinoline-containing antimalarial drugs on hemoglobin digestion in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that whereas chloroquine and amodiaquine inhibit the digestion of hemoglobin, mefloquine, quinine and possibly quinines inhibit the ingestion of host cell hemoglobin by interfering with the ingestion process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Partial purification and characterization of lactate dehydrogenase from Plasmodium falciparum.

TL;DR: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from Plasmodium falciparum was partially purified by two different procedures, demonstrating the usefulness of this procedure for the partial purification of small quantities of parasite protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimalarial natural products: a review

TL;DR: This article tries to briefly indicate that some plants which previously were used to treat malaria, as a result of deficiencies of synthetic drugs, have revived into useful products once more.
