quinoxaline studies. 23. potential antimalarials. substituted 5,8-dimethoxyquinoxalines. | two series of 2,3-disubstituted 5,8-dimethoxy-6-[n- (omega-dimethylaminoalkyl) amino] quinoxalines were prepared: the first series with identical 2,3-substituents h, ch3, c6h5, c6h4-4-cl, and ch2c6h5; and the second with identical styryl groups ch=chc6h5, ch=chc6h4-4-cl, ch=chc6h3-3,4-c12, ch=chc6h4-4-f, ch=chc6h4-4-cf3, and ch=chc6h4-4-no2. none of the substances possessed antimalarial activity; several were toxic at highest dosage levels. | 1975 | 1097693 |
the chemotherapy of rodent malaria, xxi. action of quinine and wr 122 (a 9-phenanthrenemethanol) on the fine structure of plasmodium berghei in mouse blood. | the effects of quinine and a 9-phenanthrenemethanol, wr 122,455 on the fine structure of plasmodium berghei have been investigated. changes consequent upon quinine treatment were noted in the outer membranes (including those that surround the "food vacuole") and the digestive vacuoles. these changes were followed by cytoplasmic degeneration and vacuolization. wr 122,455 caused morphological changes in at least three areas of the parasite, (1) the outer membranes, (2) the digestive vacuole and (3 ... | 1975 | 1098583 |
the chemotherapy of rodent malaria, xxii. the value of drug-resistant strains of p. berghei in screening for blood schizontocidal activity. | data are provided on the activity of a variety of antimalarial drugs against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant lines of plasmodium berghei in albino mice. parallel data for the response of the drug-sensitive parasites to these compounds in vitro indicate whether the drugs have a chloroquine-like or quinine-like type of action, or neither. the value of this test system for drug evaluation is debated. it is concluded that the in vivo tests do provide a valuable indication of the potential use of a ... | 1975 | 1098584 |
sudden increase in virulence in a strain of plasmodium berghei yoelii. | the mild and chronic 17x strain of plasmodium berghei yoelii showed a sudden increase in virulence following a period of 110 days in the deep freeze. the enhanced virulence was seen in a very high and early parasite peak in the blood and a 100% mortality of all infected mice. the exalted virulence remained unaltered following a number of blood transfers of the strain and after four cyclical transmissions through anopheles stephensi. enzyme pattern studies revealed that the virulent strain posses ... | 1975 | 1098585 |
role of complement components in the susceptibility to plasmodium berghei infection among inbred strains of mice. | inbred strains of mice, sensitive and resistant to plasmodium berghei infections, including a complement deficient strain were infected with p. berghei. daily levels of parasitaemia were determined and serum levels of complement components (c3 and c5) measured by standard haemolytic assay. serum levels of c3 and c5 were depressed in all strains of mice infected with p. berghei. there was no difference in the infectivity and course of p. berghei infection in the co-isogenic c5 deficient and non-d ... | 1975 | 1098586 |
purification and some properties of malarial pigment. | malarial pigment from erythrocytes infected with plasmodium berghei was purified by treatment with sodium dodecyl sulphate solution, followed by incubation with pancreatin. the purified pigment retained the apparently crystalline form of pigment within the parasite, rotated polarised light and had the same solubility characterisation as crude malarial pigment. it contained about 1% iron, all of which could be accounted for in terms of haemin. the iron of the pigment molecule is oxidised by the p ... | 1975 | 1098588 |
immunological studies in rodent malaria. i: protective immunity induced in mice by mild strains of plasmodium berghei yoelii against a virulent and fatal line of this plasmodium. | mild and virulent lines of plasmodium berghei yoelii are readily distinguished both by their course of infection and by the preference of the virulent line for mature red blood cells. mice given either mild line were fully protected against the virulent p.b. yoelii one week after they had become negative. mice given the mild line of p.b. yoelii 17x were fully protected against a challenge by the virulent line on the third day of infection (d+3). mice given the mild and virulent lines of p.b. yoe ... | 1975 | 1098589 |
