Malaria
Malaria is transmitted by the infected female Anopheles
mosquito is caused by four species of plasmodium protozoa.
The four plasmodium species are
1) P. falciparum (Malignant Tertian, Subtertian).
2) P.vivax ( Benign Tertian Malaria ).
3) P. Malariae ( Quartan Malaria ).
4) P. ovale (Mild Tertian Malaria).

Malaria
Life cycle of malaria
Infection from plasmodia can cause anemia, pulmonary edema, renal failure, jaundice, shock, cerebral malaria, and if not treated in a timely manner, can result in death.
![Page 5: Malaria Malaria is transmitted by the infected female Anopheles mosquito is caused by four species of plasmodium protozoa. The four plasmodium species](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649ee75503460f94bf84c3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Types of Chemotherapy
Tissue Schizonticides.
These drugs eradicate the exoerythrocytic liver-tissue
stages of the parasite which prevents the parasite's
entry into the blood.
Drugs of this type are useful for prophylaxis.
Blood Schizonticides.
These drugs destroy the erythrocytic stages of parasites
and can cure cases of falciparum malaria or suppress
relapses..

Types of Chemotherapy
Gametocytocides.
Agents of this type kill the sexual forms of the
plasmodia (gametocytes), which are transmittable to
the Anopheles mosquito, thereby preventing
transmission of the disease.
Sporontocides (sporozooiticides).
These drugs act against sporozoites and are capable of
killing these organisms as soon as they enter the
bloodstream following a mosquito bite.

Treatment of Malaria
2 classes of natural drugs played a role in the development
of synthetic antimalarial drugs:-
4-quinolinemethanol derivatives
The 9-aminoacridines
![Page 9: Malaria Malaria is transmitted by the infected female Anopheles mosquito is caused by four species of plasmodium protozoa. The four plasmodium species](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649ee75503460f94bf84c3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Treatment of Malaria
4-quinolinemethanol derivatives;
quinine (extracted from cinchona bark) was the first
known antimalarial; its use began in Europe in the 17th
century.
Recently, it has been employed to treat chloroquine
resistant strains of P. falciparum.

Treatment of Malaria
With the beginning of World War II, a massive effort was
begun to search for synthetic alternatives to quinine and
the development of more effective antimalarial agent than
quinacrine.
This results in the following synthetic antimalarials.
4-aminoquinolones
8-aminoquinolones
Quinoline-4-methanols

This class includes 5-compounds:
Quinine
Chloroquine
Hydroxychloroquine

Halofantrine
They share structural similarity, have same mechanism of
action and resistance.
They are rapidly acting blood schizonticides with activity
against plasmodium in the erythrocytic stage.
![Page 20: Malaria Malaria is transmitted by the infected female Anopheles mosquito is caused by four species of plasmodium protozoa. The four plasmodium species](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649ee75503460f94bf84c3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Mechanism of action Weak Base Hypothesis.
The 4-substituted quinolines are weak bases and are
thought to accumulate in a location which is acidic.
Because the extracellular fluid of the parasite is at pH
7.4 the weak base will move toward a more acidic pH.
Once in the lysosome an acid/base reaction occurs
elevating the pH in the lysosome which in turn reduces
the parasite's ability to digest hemoglobin thus reducing
the availability of amino acids.
It is generally believed that the 4-substituted quinolines
disrupt hemoglobin digestion in sensitive organisms

Mechanism of resistance
The development of resistance is thought to be a
spontaneous gene mutation leading to enhanced drug efflux
thus leading to rapid removal of the drug from the organism
and hence reduce the effectiveness of the drugs
Rapid metabolism of the antimalarial by resistant strains.
It has been shown that cyctochrome P-450 activity parallels
increased resistant to specific drugs
![Page 22: Malaria Malaria is transmitted by the infected female Anopheles mosquito is caused by four species of plasmodium protozoa. The four plasmodium species](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649ee75503460f94bf84c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Therapeutic Application They rapidly acting blood schizonticides with activity
against plasmodium in the erythrocytic stage.
The drug of choice for treatment of malaria caused by
Plasmodium falcipamm, P. ovale, P. vivax, and P. malariae
in regions infected by chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum is
quinine with mefloquine and halofantrine as alternative
treatment agents.
The 4-substituted quinolines, depending on the specific drug
in question, may also be used for prophylaxis of malaria.
Two types of prophylaxis are possible, causal pro phylaxis
(prevents the establishment of hepatic forms of the
parasite) and suppressive prophylaxis (eradicates the
erythrocytic parasites but has no effect on the hepatic
forms)

Quinine is the most prevalent alkaloid present in the bark extracts (about 5%) of cinchona.
Structure activity relationship:- Four stereo-chemical centers exist in the molecule (at C-
3, C-4, C-8, and C-9) Quinine, absolute configuration of 3R:4S: 8S:9R, and
Quinidine, absolute configuration of 3R:4S: 8R:9S, and their optical isomers all have antimalarial activity while their C-9 epimers are inactive.

Modification of the secondary alcohol at C-9, through

The quinuclidine portion is not necessary for activity;
however, an alkyl tertiary amine at C-9 is important.

Chloroquine (Aralen)
Structure-activity relationships:-
Chloro at the eight position increased activity while
alkylation at C-3 and C-8 diminished activity.
The replacement of one of its N-Ethyl groups with
hydroxyethyl produced hydroxychloroquin, a compound
with reduced toxicity.

Chloroquine (Aralen)
It is commonly administered as the racemic mixture.
It is an excellent suppressive agent for treating acute attacks of malaria caused by P. vivax and P. ovale and is effective for cure and as a suppressive prophylactic for treatment of P. malariae and susceptible P. falciparum.
It is for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, discoid lupus erythematosus and photosensitivity diseases

Pamaquine
Pamaquine was first introduced for treatment of malaria in
1926 and has been replaced with primaquine.
Primaquine is active against latent tissue forms of P. vivax
and P. ovale and is active against the hepatic stages of P.
falciparum.
The drug is not active against erythrocytic stages of the
parasite, but does possess gametocidal activity against all
strains of plasmodium.

Pamaquine and Primaquine
Primaquine is the drug of choice for treatment of relapsing vivax
and ovale forms of malaria and will produce a radical cure of the
condition.
It is recommended to be combined with chloroquine to eradicate
the erythrocytic stages of malaria.
Primaquine is not given for long-term treatment because of
potential toxicity and sensitization (especially with patients have
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, In these cases
hemolytic anemia may develop).

Pyrimethamine (Daraprim) is a potent inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase
It has a significantly higher affinity for binding to the dihydrofolate reductase of plasmodium than host enzyme and as a result has been used to selectively treat plasmodium infections.
Combined with sulfadoxine (long acting sulfonamide) and quinine for treatment and prevention of chloroquine-resistant malaria (Plasmodium faldparum, P. ovale, P. vivax, and P. malaria).
Pyrimethamine is a blood schizonticide without effects on the tissue stage of the disease

Mechanism of Action.
The artemisinins appear to kill the parasite by a free
radical mechanism producing oxidative damage to
the parasites membrane.
These compounds have gametocytocidal activity as well as
being active against late stage parasites and trophozoites
