Application

Proguanil (chlorguanide) may be used in anti-parasitic protozoan drug development to study its pharmacokinetics, metabolism, safety, efficacy and methods of delivery as an antimalarial drug.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chlorguanide (proguanil) is combined with atovaquone for malaria prophylaxis. The two compounds act synergistically to inhibit the plasmodial dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and interrupt the electron transport chain. Mutations in DHFR account for the development of resistant strains.
Proguanil hydrochloride is antimalarial. Dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor

Because of recent declining malaria transmission in Latin America, some authorities have recommended against chemoprophylaxis for most travelers to this region. However, the predominant parasite species in Latin America, Plasmodium vivax, can form hypnozoites sequestered in the liver, causing malaria

In this investigation we evaluate the relevance of a model-based approach for pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging and dose selection of drug combinations in children. The fixed-dose combination of atovaquone (ATV) and proguanil (PGN) was used for illustration purposes. A population PK

We established a new field clone of Plasmodium falciparum for use in controlled human malaria infections and vaccine studies to complement the current small portfolio of P. falciparum strains, primarily based on NF54. The Cambodian clone NF135.C10 consistently produced gametocytes
