摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter describes various aspects of human antiparasitic agents. The 4-aminoquinoline resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria is an important problem in specific areas. Effective treatment with combinations two or more antimalarials including chloroquine, colchicine, quinine, pyrimethamine long-acting sulfonamides, and diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) has been reported. A review the mechanism action chloroquine presented chapter. drug interferes several enzymes, binds to melanin DNA, stabilizes lysosomes, blocks sulfhydryldisulfide interchange reaction. In presence chloroquine-sensitive plasmodia, mouse erythrocytes concentrate levels than twice as high those parasitized by chloroquine-resistant plasmodia. Cyclization derivatives arylbiguanides arylamidineureas acetoacetic ester acetylacetone corresponding pyrimidines reduced both toxicity anti-malarial activity. compounds resulting from coupling sulfa drugs showed antimalarial activity, which appears be due intact molecule.
