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.

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.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors.

TL;DR: Certain members of these oxamic acid derivatives may have dual inhibitory activities against both pfLDH and pfMDH, presumed that dual LDH/MDH inhibitors would have enhanced potential as antimalarial drugs.

In vitro antimalarial activity of biflavonoids from Wikstroemia indica.

TL;DR: In this investigation of in vitro antimalarial screening of medicinal herbal extracts, the n-BuOH extract from the root of Wikstroemia indica showed a potent inhibitory effect and two biflavonoids were isolated, 1 and 2 of which were confirmed by (1)H- and (13)C-NMR.
