Identification of tyrosine kinase inhibitors that halt Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia

Abstract: Although current malaria therapies inhibit pathways encoded in the parasite’s genome, we have looked for anti-malaria drugs that can target an erythrocyte component because development of drug resistance might be suppressed if the parasite cannot mutate the drug’s target. In search for such erythrocyte targets, we noted that human erythrocytes express tyrosine kinases, whereas the Plasmodium falciparum genome encodes no obvious tyrosine kinases. We therefore screened a library of tyrosine kinase inhibitors fro… Show more

“…The mechanism for these effects is likely to include PTP inhibition, phosphorylation of Y8, and binding of the cytoplasmic domain to an SH2 domain on the membrane domain (386). Further work is needed to understand the many different physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological conditions affecting the tyrosine phosphorylation status of band 3 (362,(473)(474)(475)(476)(477)(478)(479).…”

“…This calls for the development of next-generation drugs with (i) untapped modes of action to prevent cross-resistance and (ii) have low propensity for the emergence of de novo resistance. In recent years P. falciparum has been shown to require the activity of several of its host kinases 31,45,46 , which when inhibited chemically, result in parasite death. This suggests that host targeted drug discovery (HDT) may be feasible avenue for malaria treatments as it has for other infectious diseases (reviewed in 47 ).…”
