Concurrent Infection with Dengue and Malaria: An Unusual Presentation by Mohsin Bin Mushtaq, Mehmood I. Qadri, Aaliya Rashid

“…Here, we present a case of a young male returning from a dengue endemic area who tested positive for the virus along with Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum. In view of the severity of coinfection (Epelboin et al., 2012), overlapping symptoms, and a challenging obscurity of diagnosis, a multidimensional diagnostic approach is suggested.…”

Synthesis, antiproliferative and antiplasmodial evaluation of new chloroquine and mefloquine-based harmiquins by Pavić Kristina, Poje Goran, Carvalho Lais Pessanha De, Held Jana, Rajić Zrinka

“…Screening of the antiplasmodial activities of UT harmiquins against erythrocytic stages of the Plasmodium life cycle identified CQ-based UT harmiquine 12 as a novel antiplasmodial hit because it displayed low IC50 values in the submicromolar range against CQ-sensitive and resistant strains (IC50 0.06 ± 0.01, and 0.19 ± 0.02 μmol L−1, respectively), and exhibited high selectivity against Plasmodium, compared to mammalian cells (SI = 92).…”

Antimalaria Effect of the Ethanolic Stem Bark Extracts of Ficus platyphylla Del by Isma'il Shittu, Amlabu Emmanuel, Andrew Jonathan Nok

“…The antimalarial effect of the ethanolic stem bark extract of Ficus platyphylla Del was evaluated against Plasmodium berghei infection in mice. Nontreated, experimental control mice died of fulminant parasitemia from day 7 to 9 post-infection but mice treated with the extract at 300 mg/kg showed markedly reduced parasitaemia bouts of 43.50% and a mean survival time of 28 days postinfection. …”

The Potential use of a Curcumin-Piperine Combination as an Antimalarial Agent: A Systematic Review by Shafia Khairani, Nisa Fauziah, Hesti Lina Wiraswati, Ramdan Panigoro, Endang Yuni Setyowati, Afiat Berbudi

“…The selected articles discussed their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptosis properties, as well as their mechanism of action against Plasmodium species. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant, damages parasite DNA, and may promote an immune response against Plasmodium by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS), while piperine is also a potent antioxidant that potentiates the effects of curcumin. …”
