A systematic and prospectively validated approach for identifying synergistic drug combinations against malaria.

Malaria journal
BACKGROUND: Nearly half of the world's population (3.2 billion people) were at risk of malaria in 2015, and resistance to current therapies is a major concern. While the standard of care includes drug combinations, there is a pressing need to identif...

Machine learning prioritizes synthesis of primaquine ureidoamides with high antimalarial activity and attenuated cytotoxicity.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
Primaquine (PQ) is a commonly used drug that can prevent the transmission of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, however toxicity limits its use. We prepared five groups of PQ derivatives: amides 1a-k, ureas 2a-k, semicarbazides 3a,b, acylsemicarbazides 4...

Identification of immune signatures predictive of clinical protection from malaria.

PLoS computational biology
Antibodies are thought to play an essential role in naturally acquired immunity to malaria. Prospective cohort studies have frequently shown how continuous exposure to the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum cause an accumulation of specific respo...

FABRICATION AND EVALUATION OF SMART NANOCRYSTALS OF ARTEMISININ FOR ANTIMALARIAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL EFFICACY.

African journal of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicines : AJTCAM
BACKGROUND: Nanocrystals have the potential to substantially increase dissolution rate, solubility with subsequent enhanced bioavailability via the oral route of a range of poor water soluble drugs. Regardless of other issues, scale up of the batch s...

Malaria Parasitemia and Parasite Density in Antiretroviral-Treated HIV-Infected Adults Following Discontinuation of Cotrimoxazole Prophylaxis.

The Journal of infectious diseases
BACKGROUND:  Cotrimoxazole (CTX) discontinuation increases malaria incidence in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. Rates, quantity, and timing of parasitemia rebound following CTX remain undefined.

Automated Detection of P. falciparum Using Machine Learning Algorithms with Quantitative Phase Images of Unstained Cells.

PloS one
Malaria detection through microscopic examination of stained blood smears is a diagnostic challenge that heavily relies on the expertise of trained microscopists. This paper presents an automated analysis method for detection and staging of red blood...

Synthesis, identification and in vitro biological evaluation of some novel quinoline incorporated 1,3-thiazinan-4-one derivatives.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters
The present study describes the synthesis of two new series of 3-hydroxy-N-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazinan-3-yl)-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline-2-carboxamide derivatives (4a-j) and 3-((7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)methyl)-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazinan-4-one deriv...

Cheminformatics Based Machine Learning Models for AMA1-RON2 Abrogators for Inhibiting Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Invasion.

Molecular informatics
Malaria remains a dreadful disease by putting every year about 3.4 billion people at risk and resulting into mortality of 627 thousand people worldwide. Existing therapies based upon Quinines and Artemisinin-based combination therapies have started s...

Bayesian models trained with HTS data for predicting β-haematin inhibition and in vitro antimalarial activity.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry
A large quantity of high throughput screening (HTS) data for antimalarial activity has become available in recent years. This includes both phenotypic and target-based activity. Realising the maximum value of these data remains a challenge. In this r...

Identification of therapeutics against PfPK6 protein of Plasmodium falciparum: Structure and Deep Learning approach.

Experimental parasitology
The Plasmodium falciparum Protein Kinase 6 (PfPK6) is a serine/threonine protein kinase categorized under the CMGC group, displaying both cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) activity. Previous research has in...
