Peptide compounds play a significant role in medicinal chemistry as they can inhibit the
activity of species that cause malaria. This literature review summarizes the isolation of …

Despite clinical and pathological distinctions between malaria and hypertension,
accumulated epidemiological and evolutionary evidence indicate the need of deeper …

The physicochemical and structural properties of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) determine
their mechanism of action and biological function. However, the development of AMPs as …

Background The invasion of the mosquito salivary glands by Plasmodium sporozoites is a
critical step that defines the success of malaria transmission and a detailed understanding of …

Malaria is a worldwide health problem leading the death of millions of people. The disease
is induced by different species of protozoa parasites from the genus Plasmodium. In …

Background The molecular mechanisms involved in erythrocyte invasion by malaria parasite
are well understood, but the contribution of host components is not. We recently reported …

Aim: There are conflicting reports on the effect of peptides of the Renin Angiotensin System
(RAS) on the pathogenesis of malaria infection. Captopril is a common antihypertensive …

At present malaria is responsible for over half a million deaths annually. Although progress
