摘要
We have shown previously that chloroquine and amodiaquine inhibit the glutathione dependent degradation of ferriprotoporphyrin IX (FP). We have also demonstrated that treatment of human erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum with chloroquine or amodiaquine results in a dose- and time-dependent accumulation of FP in the membrane fraction of these cells in correlation with parasite killing. High levels of membrane FP are known to perturb the barrier properties of cellular membranes, and could thereby irreversibly disturb the ion homeostasis of the parasite and cause parasite death. We here report on the effect of various 4-aminoquinolines, as well as pyronaridine, halofantrine and some bis-quinolines, on glutathione-mediated. destruction of FP in aqueous solution, when Fr was bound non-specifically to a protein, and when it was dissolved in human erythrocyte ghost membranes. We showed that all drugs were capable of inhibiting FP degradation in solution. The inhibitory efficacy of some drugs declined when FP was bound non-specifically to protein. Quinine and mefloquine were unable to inhibit the degradation of membrane-associated FP, in line with their inability to increase membrane-associated FP levels in malaria-injected cells following drug treatment. The discrepancy between chloroquine and amodiaquine on the one hand, and quinine and mefloquine on the other, is discussed in terms of the particular location of drugs and FP in the phospholipid membrane, and may suggest differences in the mechanistic details of the antimalarial action of these drugs.
