  1. 1. Clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antimalarial combination therapy

    Författare :Sofia Friberg Hietala; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; antimalarials; artemisinins;

    Sammanfattning : In the face of growing drug resistance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued recommendations strongly encouraging the use of combination therapies to combat uncomplicated malaria. Amongst the most effective treatments are those combining an artemisinin derivative with a longer acting component such as amodiaquine, lumefantrine or piperaquine. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Piperaquine - Bioanalys, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is one of the most abundant parasitic diseases in the world affecting many of the poorest economies. The estimated prevalence is 300 to 700 million clinical episodes each year with up to 3 million deaths. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions in the management of malaria, HIV and tuberculosis

    Författare :Doaa Elsherbiny; Ulrika Simonsson; Mats Karlsson; Lars Ståhle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Pharmacokinetics Pharmacotherapy; Pharmacokinetics; Drug-drug interactions; Cytochrome P-450; Artemisinin antimalarials; Nevirapine; Lopinavir; Rifampicin; NONMEM; Farmakokinetik Farmakoterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) are global health problems having their worst situation in sub-Saharan Africa. Consequently, concomitant use of antimalarial, antiretroviral and antitubercular drugs may be needed, resulting in a potential risk of drug-drug interactions. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Cytochrome P450 enzymes affected by artemisinin antimalarials-pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic aspects

    Författare :Sara Asimus; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :artemisinin; autoinduction; cytochrome P450; induction; inhibition; malaria; metabolism; pharmacogenetics; pharmacokinetics; probe;

    Sammanfattning : With more than 500 million cases and at least 1 million deaths each year, malaria is a major global health problem. The main problem with malaria control is the emerging drug resistance among parasites causing the infection. Consequently, there is an urgent need for new drugs. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Development of Analytical Methods for the Determination of Antimalarials in Biological Fluids

    Författare :Daniel Blessborn; Yngve Bergqvist; Anders Helander; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; Chloroquine; Quinine; Sulfadoxine; Pyrimethamine; Mefloquine; Lumefantrine; Amodiaquine; Pyronaridine; Proguanil; Atovaquone; Sampling paper; Dried blood spots; Capillary blood; Antimalarial drugs; Solid-phase extraction; Liquid chromatography.; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to develop analytical methods for measuring antimalarial drugs in biological fluids. Solid phase extraction (SPE) was used for the enrichment and purification of the drugs. LÄS MER
