By using 6,7,8-trioxabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane as the artemisinin model and dihydrated Fe(OH)(2) as the heme model, we report a theoretical study of the late steps of the artemisinin decomposition process. The study offers two viewpoints: first, the energetic and geometric parameters are obtained and analyzed, and hence, different reaction paths have been studied. The second point of view uses the e...
Most current antimalarial drugs are combinations of an artemisinin plus a 'partner' drug from another class, and are known as artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). They are the frontline drugs in treating human malaria infections. They also have a public-health role as an essential component of recent, comprehensive scale-ups of malaria interventions and containment efforts conceived ...
Artemisinins, derived from the wormwood herb Artemisia annua, are the most potent antimalarial drugs currently available. Despite extensive research, the exact mode of action of artemisinins has not been established. Here we use yeast, Saccharamyces cerevisiae, to probe the core working mechanism of this class of antimalarial agents. We demonstrate that artemisinin's inhibitory effect is mediat...
A recent Letter to the Editor (R. K. Haynes, D. Monti, D. Taramelli, N. Basilico, S. Parapini, and P. Olliaro, Letter, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 47:1175, 2003) presented cogent evidence that artemisinin and its derivatives do not inhibit hemozoin formation in vitro. However, the authors misinterpret these data to conclude that “binding of artemisinins with Fe(III)PPIX is not necessary for a...
The antimalarial drugs artemisinins have been described as inhibiting Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of PfATP6 (Plasmodium falciparum ATP6) after expression in Xenopus oocytes. Mutation of an amino acid residue in mammalian SERCA1 (Glu(255)) to the equivalent one predicted in PfATP6 (Leu) was reported to induce sensitivity to artemisinin in the oocyte system. However, in the present experiments, we fou...
BACKGROUND Artemisinin resistance, a long parasite clearance half-life in response to artemisinin, has been described in patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria in southeast Asia. Few baseline half-lives have been reported from Africa, where artemisinins were recently introduced. METHODS We treated P. falciparum malaria in 215 Malian children aged 0.5-15 years with artesunate (0, 24, 48 h...
Despite declining numbers of cases and deaths, malaria remains a major public health problem in many parts of the world. Today, case management relies heavily on a single class of antimalarial compounds: artemisinins. Hence, development of resistance against artemisinins may destroy current malaria control strategies. Beyond malaria control are elimination and eradication programs that will req...
Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the cornerstone for the treatment of malaria. However, confirmed resistance to artemisinins in South-East Asia, and reports of reduced efficacy of ACTs raise major concerns for malaria treatment and control. Without new drugs to replace artemisinins, it is essential to define dosing strategies that maximize therapeutic efficacy, limit the sprea...
