Redox systems as conduits for antimalarial compounds.
Sir, At the turn of the nineteenth century, Ehrlich focused on the selective staining of malaria-infected cells over noninfected cells, with methylene blue and acridine orange. On reviewing this information, two simple questions arose: why do these compounds selectively target parasite infected cells and can this information be used against the parasite? We propose the following: methylene blue...
متن کاملBilayer Effects of Antimalarial Compounds
Because of the perpetual development of resistance to current therapies for malaria, the Medicines for Malaria Venture developed the Malaria Box to facilitate the drug development process. We tested the 80 most potent compounds from the box for bilayer-mediated effects on membrane protein conformational changes (a measure of likely toxicity) in a gramicidin-based stopped flow fluorescence assay...
متن کاملProtein Degradation Systems as Antimalarial Therapeutic Targets.
Artemisinin (ART)-based combination therapies are the most efficacious treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Alarmingly, P. falciparum strains have acquired resistance to ART across much of Southeast Asia. ART creates widespread protein and lipid damage inside intraerythrocytic parasites, necessitating macromolecule degradation. The proteasome is the main engine of Plasmodiu...
متن کاملAntimalarial activities of aminooxy compounds.
Twenty-three aminooxy compounds have been examined for their ability to inhibit the growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. Eight of these compounds were found to have 50% inhibitory concentrations less than 10 microM, with the best drugs being canaline (the aminooxy analogue of ornithine) and CGP51905A at 297 +/- 23.6 nM and 242 +/- 18.8 nM, respectively. Canaline was al...
متن کاملchannel estimation for mimo-ofdm systems
تخمین دقیق مشخصات کانال در سیستم های مخابراتی یک امر مهم محسوب می گردد. این امر به ویژه در کانال های بیسیم با خاصیت فرکانس گزینی و زمان گزینی شدید، چالش بزرگی است. مقالات متعدد پر از روش های مبتکرانه ای برای طراحی و آنالیز الگوریتم های تخمین کانال است که بیشتر آنها از روش های خاصی استفاده می کنند که یا دارای عملکرد خوب با پیچیدگی محاسباتی بالا هستند و یا با عملکرد نه چندان خوب پیچیدگی پایینی...
