3 P. falciparum associated pathologies In falciparum malaria cytoadhesion of mature forms are related to fatalities!

4 Number of articles and Budget 95% =

5 million cases annually 2.85 billion people at risk (50%) - 66% Southeastern and eat Asia, 14% America Africa Few cases Mostly individuals Duffy (Fy) negative More widely distributed than P. falciparum

6

7 Absence of in vitro continuous culture, Ethical considerations blood collected from patients Need to establish functional and reproducible assays, Limit knowledge of parasite biology High genetic Carência diversity, de low tratamento parasitemias, belief alternativo as a benign form of the disease Need new approaches and strategies for drug discovery

8 Chloroquine resistance cases since 1999!

11 Could this parasite cytoadhere? If so, mature forms disappear from peripheral circulation? Are the mechanisms involved similar than P. falciparum? Is still vivax malaria benign? What can we learn for helping drug tests?

12 Marcus VG Lacerda, MD/PhD Tropical Medicine Foundation Hospital 150 beds Referral Hospital for complicated cases Treats 30% of the malarial cases reported in Manaus Patients treated within 48 h of presentation of symptoms 4-hour flight Manaus, AM Population: 2,000,000 Annual Parasite Index (2008): 40

13 Field study design: cytoadhesion in P. vivax 1.Blood collection in sodium citrate tubes (5-10 ml from uncomplicated malaria-infected patients ) 4. Leukocyte depletion by CF11 columns 2.

33 Isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum Potential immunomodulatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities Anti-tumourogenic Anti-trypanocydal, anti-leishmanial and anti-malarial activity Mechanism of action: oxidative stress, apoptosis?

34 P. c. chabaudi AS(30CQ) is a clone resistant to 30 mg/kg chloroquine and 10mg/kg of pyrimetamine, P. c. chabaudi AS (ATNMF1) is a clone resistant to 40mg/kg of artesunate and 4 mg/kg of mefloquine

35 Pool 6000 heterozygous barcoded yeast strains Grow in the presence of Violacein Extract DNA and detect barcodes by chip hybridization Identify strains depleted in Violacein treated cultures

36 Identification of strains in the pool Barcoded heterozygous pool 6000 different (barcoded) heterozygous deletion strains

37 Chemogenomic profiling of heterozygous strains grown for 24h in 40μM Violacein

38 The CCT chaperonin complex Essential for actin and tubulin folding Conserved from Archeae to Humans Ring structure with 8 sub-units

39 Transient disruption of yeast actin by violacein Validate the mode of action of Violacein in Plasmodium; Test the anti-plasmodial potential of violacein intermediates (deoxyviolacein, deoxyviolaceinic acid, proto deoxyviolaceinic acid); Test the effect of violacein and intermediates against drug resistant Plasmodium strains; Investigate the effect of violacein in parasite adhesion and pathogenesis (intense reorganization of the cytoskeleton is essential for adhesion); Solve the structure of Violacein with the CCT complex to allow the optimization of Violacein derived compounds (collaboration with Marcio Dias).

41 MRPs are ABC transporters that can confer resistance to multiple drugs; We constructed a synthetic GFP tagged P. vivax - MRP1 for expression in yeast; This transporter is functional in the heterologous host; PvMRP1-GFP will be used in drug screens to identify inhibitors of pleiotropic drug export.
