The Drosophila melanogaster antimicrobial peptides Mtk-1 and Mtk-2 are active against the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Parasitology Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s00436-019-06305-x
Abstract: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important components of the vertebrate and invertebrate innate immune systems. Although AMPs are widely recognized for their broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, their activity against protozoan parasites has not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.parint.2018.12.003
Abstract: The growth and the survival of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are critically dependent on the functions of the two organelles - the mitochondrion and the apicoplast. However, these two organelles have been known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsinfecdis.9b00257
Abstract: The mechanism of action of ozonide antimalarials involves activation by intraparasitic iron and the formation of highly reactive carbon-centred radicals that alkylate malaria parasite proteins. Given free intraparasitic heme is generally thought to be the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2122165119
Abstract: Significance Like most human pathogens, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum experiences strong selection pressure from public health interventions such as drug treatment. While most commonly studied in the context of drug targets and related pathways,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aac.01589-24
Abstract: ABSTRACT Malaria parasites acquire drug resistance through genetic changes, the mechanisms of which remain incompletely understood. Understanding the mechanisms of drug resistance is crucial for the development of effective treatments against malaria, and for this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.03239-21
Abstract: Malaria represents an enormous burden for a significant proportion of humanity and the lack of vaccines and problems with drug resistance to all antimalarials demonstrate the need to develop new therapeutics. Inhibitors of phosphoinositide metabolism… read more here.
