One hundred cases of slide-confirmed Plasmodium falciparum malaria admitted to the San Lazaro Hospital, Manila, Philippines were screened for in vitro resistance to chloroquine, quinine, amodiaquine and mefloquine using the microtechnique. 59 of the 100 primary parasite isolates produced schizonts, whereas the remaining 41 isolates did not. 51 of the 59 isolates tested were resistant in vitro to chloroquine and eight were sensitive. In contrast, three of the primary isolates were resistant to quinine, three showed resistance to amodiaquine and four were mefloquine-resistant. 43 of the strains judged chloroquine-resistant in vitro were fully in vitro sensitive to amodiaquine, quinine and mefloquine. One chloroquine-resistant isolate was also resistant to quinine alone. Three isolates that were resistant to chloroquine were also resistant to amodiaquine. An additional three were cross-resistant to chloroquine and mefloquine. A single isolate was found to be resistant to chloroquine, quinine and mefloquine and another was cross-resistant to chloroquine, quinine and amodiaquine. All strains demonstrating in vitro resistance to amodiaquine, quinine or mefloquine also showed in vitro resistance to chloroquine. The parasites in 22 patients showed in vivo resistance to chloroquine therapy. 86% were of the R1 type, 9% were R2 and 5% R3. All 22 patients demonstrating in vivo resistance to chloroquine showed in vitro resistance.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

D010963 Plasmodium falciparum A species of protozoa that is the causal agent of falciparum malaria (MALARIA, FALCIPARUM). It is most prevalent in the tropics and subtropics. Plasmodium falciparums,falciparums, Plasmodium
D011803 Quinine An alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is used as an antimalarial drug, and is the active ingredient in extracts of the cinchona that have been used for that purpose since before 1633. Quinine is also a mild antipyretic and analgesic and has been used in common cold preparations for that purpose. It was used commonly and as a bitter and flavoring agent, and is still useful for the treatment of babesiosis. Quinine is also useful in some muscular disorders, especially nocturnal leg cramps and myotonia congenita, because of its direct effects on muscle membrane and sodium channels. The mechanisms of its antimalarial effects are not well understood.

D002738 Chloroquine The prototypical antimalarial agent with a mechanism that is not well understood.
