IntroductionMalaria is a protozoal disease,
caused by Plasmodium vivax Plasmodium malariae Plasmodium ovale Plasmodium falciparumMost of the serious complications
and death occur due to Plasmodium falciparum.

Types of malaria
• P vivax and P ovale• with a fever every 2nd day
Benign tertian
• P malariae• with a fever every 3rd day
Benign quartan
• P falciparum• This type of malaria is more
dangerous because of the complications

Inhibition of haem polymerase
Parasite
Haemoglobin convert into haem
Haem is free and toxic
Haemozoin
Haem Polymerase
Inhibition of haem polymerase cause toxicity and death of the parasite

Chloroquine 4-Aminoquinoline derivatives Uncharged at neutral pHDiffuse freely into lysosome of
parasiteAt acid pH of lysosome, it
converted to a protonated, membrane impermeable form and is ‘trapped’ inside the parasite.
At high conc. It inhibits protein RNA and DNA synthesis.

ChoroquineDrug Mechanism of
ActionUses Adverse
Effect
Chloroquinephosphate(ARALEN)
Tablet- 250mg, 500mg
Half-life- 3-5 days
Metabolise via CYPs
concentrating in parasite food vacuoles
preventing the polymerization of the hemoglobin breakdown product heme, into hemozoin,
parasite toxicity due to the buildup of free heme
Acute malarial attack
Suppressive prophylaxis

Other formulation
hydroxychloroquine sulfate (Rx) - Plaquenil Use for treatment purpose
![Page 15: Antimalarial agents](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/554b4339b4c905ff268b4daf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
ResistancePlsmodium falciparum is now resistant
to chloroquine in most of the part.
Resistance appears to result from enhanced efflux of the drug from parasitic vesicles as result from enhanced efflux of the drug from parasitic vesicles as a mutation in plsmodium transporter genes. (pfcrt gene)
![Page 16: Antimalarial agents](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/554b4339b4c905ff268b4daf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Contraindications & Cautions Chloroquine is contraindicated in patients with psoriasis
or porphyria, in whom it may precipitate acute attacks of these diseases.
It should generally not be used in those with retinal or visual field abnormalities or myopathy.
Chloroquine should be used with caution in patients with a history of liver disease or neurologic or hematologic disorders. The antidiarrheal agent kaolin and calcium- and magnesium-containing antacids interfere with the absorption of chloroquine and should not be coadministered with the drug.

4-Aminoquinolone derivatives
Pyronaridine, a chloroquine relative, is being used in combination with artesunate as a promising new artemisinin- based combination therapy.
Pyronaridine-artesunate has been studied in Phase II and Phase III clinical trials, and has been shown to be effective against uncomplicated P. falciparum and blood stage P. vivax.
Pyronaridine-artesunate is available as Pyramax® tablets and pediatric granule formulations,and manufacture of this compound is being undertaken by Shin Poong Pharmaceuticals.
![Page 38: Antimalarial agents](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/554b4339b4c905ff268b4daf/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

8-Aminoquinolone derivativesTafenoquine is a lead candidate
drug aimed at a radical cure of P. vivax, and is being studied in a Phase II/III.
A fixed dose artemisinin combination therapy, artesunate-amodiaquine (Coarsucam) has been approved by WHO and developed by Sanofi- Aventis.

Artemisinin derivatives
The endoperoxide feature of artemisinins, which confers antimalarial activity, is shared by ozonide OZ439, a synthetic endoperoxide.
OZ439 carries the hope of providing a single dose oral cure in humans when used in combination.
OZ439 is a rapidly acting agent against asexual stage parasites.This drug is currently undergoing Phase IIa trials.

Newer targetTE3, a prodrug of a bis-ammonium
compound that acts on phospholipid metabolism through the inhibition of de novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis, combined with a putative activity on heme detoxification.
This new class of compounds has shown potent in vivo antimalarial activity in the primatemodel Aotus and is not cross resistance in vitro with known antimalarials.

osmidomycinosmidomycin, which inhibits the 1-
desoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase in the mevalonate-independent pathway of isoprenoid synthesis in the apicoplast.
The apicoplast, a specialized parasite organelle of algal origin, appears to be important for lipid and heme biosynthesis.
