Antimalarial Drugs I

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 68))

Abstract

The metabolism of Plasmodium has been under study for 4 decades, and periodically the accumulated literature has been reviewed (Fulton 1951; McKee 1951; Fulton and Spooner 1955; Moulder 1962; Honigberg 1967; Peters 1969; Fletcher and Maegraith 1972; Trager 1970; Oelshlegel and Brewer 1975; Homewood 1978; Sherman 1979). The present chapter is designed to provide an introduction to the metabolic capabilities of malarial parasites; where possible, biochemical features that could provide insights into the mechanisms of drug action are emphasised.
