MALARIAL PARASITES EXHIBIT A COMPLEX LIFE CYCLE THEY HAVE ALTERNATING CYCLE OF ASEXUAL DIVISION (SCHIZONY) IN HUMANS SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT (SPOROGONY) OCCURS IN FEMALE MOSQUITOES. Dr Prashant's

OBJECTIVES AND USE OF ANTIMALARIAL DRUGS
THE AIMS OF USING DRUGS IN A MALARIAL INFECTION ARE (a)TO PREVENT AND TREAT CLINICAL ATTACK OF MALARIA (b)TO COMPLETELY ERADICATE THE PARASITES FROM THE PATIENTS BODY (c)TO REDUCE THE HUMAN RESERVOIR OF INFECTION Dr Prashant's
10
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
ANTIMALARIAL THERAPY IS GIVEN IN THE FOLLOWING FORMS:- 1)CASUAL PROPHYLAXIS -IN THIS THE PREERYTHROCYTIC STAGE IS THE TARGET. -FOR THIS PURPOSE THE DRUGS THAT CAN BE GIVEN INCLUDE (a)PROGUANIL (b)PRIMAQUINE Dr Prashant's
11
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
2)SUPPRESSIVE PROPHYLAXIS THE SCHIZONTOCIDES WHICH SUPPRESS THE ERYTHROCYTIC PHASE AND THUS ATTACKS OF MALARIAL FEVER CAN BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE. THEY INCLUDE:- (a)CHLOROQUINE-300mg WEEKLY Dr Prashant's
12
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
(b)PROGUANIL-200mg DAILY WITH CHLOROQUINE 300mg (c)MEFLOQUINE-250mg WEEKLY (d)DOXYCYCLINE-100mg DAILY 3)CLINICAL CURE THE ERYTHROCYTIC SCHIZONTOCIDES ARE USED TOTERMINATE AN EPISODE OF MALARIAL FEVER Dr Prashant's
13
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
THESE ARE:- (A)FAST ACTING HIGH EFFICACY DRUGS (a)CHLOROQUINE (b)MEPACRINE (c)MEFLOQUINE (d)HALOFANTRINE (e)ATOVAQUONE (B)SLOW ACTING LOW EFFICACY DRUGS (a)PROGUANIL (b)PYRIMETHAMINE (c)SULFONAMIDES (d)TETRACYCLINES Dr Prashant's

16
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
RADICAL CURE A RADICAL CURATIVE IS NEEDED IN RELAPSING MALARIA WHILE IN FALCIPARUM MALARIA ADEQUATE TREATMENT OF CLINUCAL ATTACK LEAVES NO PARASITE IN THE BODY. DRUGS:- PRIMAQUINE-15mg DAILY FOR 2 WEAKS Dr Prashant's
17
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
CHLOROQUINE CHLOROQUINE IS A RAPIDLY ACTING SCHIZONTOCIDE. IT BELONGS TO AMINOQUINOLONES MECHANISM OF ACTION BY ACCUMULATING IN ACIDIC VESCICLES OF PARASITE AND BECAUSE OF ITS WEAKLY BASIC NATURE IT RAISES THE Dr Prashant's
18
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
VESCICULAR PH AND THEREBY INTERFERES WITH DEGRADATION OF HAEMOGLOBIN BY PARASITIC LYSOSOMES. RESISTANCE:- RESISTANCE TO P. FALCIPARUM IS ASSOCIATED WITH A DECREASED ABILITY OF PARASITE TOACCUMULATE CHLOROQUINE Dr Prashant's
19
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
PHARMACOKINETICS ROUTE- ORAL ADMINISTRATION 50% BOUND TO PLASMA PROTEIN IT IS CONCENTRATED IN LIVER,SPLEEN, KIDNEY, LUNGS, AND RETINA. ITS ACCUMULATION IN RETINA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS OCULARTOXICITY. Dr Prashant's

23
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
MECHANISM OF ACTION LIKE CHLOROQUINE IT RAISES THE INTRAVASCULAR PH. IT BINDS TO THE HAEM AND THE COMPLEX DAMAGES MEMBERANES OF THE PARASITE. RESISTANT ORGANISMS ACCUMULATE LESS MEFLOQUINE Dr Prashant's
24
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
PHARMACOKINETICS ORAL ABSORBTION OF MEFLOQUINE IS QUITE GOOD. HIGHLY PLASMA PROTEIN BOUND T1/2 IS 2-3 WEEKS EXTENSIVE METABOLISM OCCURS IN LIVER AND IS EXCRETED IN BILE. Dr Prashant's

41
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
MECHANISM OF ACTION THE ENDOPEROXIDE BRIDGE IN ITS MOLECULE INTERACTS WITH HEME IN THE PARASITE IRON MEDIATED CLEAVAGE OF THE BRIDGE RELEASES A HIGHLY REACTIVE FREE RADICAL SPECIES Dr Prashant's
42
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
THIS BINDS TO MEMBERANE PROTEINS CAUSES LIPID PERODIXATION,DAMAGES ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, INHIBITS PROTEIN SYNTHESIS, AND ULTIMATELY LYSIS OF THE PARASITE. Dr Prashant's
43
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
PHARMACOKINETICS ARTENSUATE AND ARTEETHER ARE PRODRUGS RAPIDLY ABSORBED AND CONVERTED INTO THE ACTIVE METABOLITE DIHYDRO-ARTEMISININ T1/2 OF ARTENSUATE < 1 hr T1/2 OF ARTEETHER= 3-11 HOURS Dr Prashant's

45
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
INTERACTION CONCURRENT ADMINISTRATION OF ARTEMISIN COMPOUNDS WITH TERFENADINE, ASTEMIZOLE, ANTIARRYTHMATICS,TRICYCLIC ANTIDEPREEANTS AND PHENOTHIAZINES Dr Prashant's
46
Dr Prashant's www.pharmacology4students.com
USES TREATMENT OF ACUTE ATTACKS OF SEVERE FALCIFARUM MALARIA CEREBRAL MALARIA CHLOROQUINE/OTHER MULTIDRUG RESISTANT MALARIA THEIR USE FOR PROPHYLAXIS OF MALARIA IS IRRATIONAL AND NOT ALLOWED Dr Prashant's
