Malaria and trypanosomiasis are diseases which afflict millions and for which novel therapies are urgently required. We have tested two well-characterized cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) for antiparasitic activity. One CPP, designated TP10, has broad-spectrum antiparasitic activity against Plasmodium falciparum, both blood and mosquito stages, and against blood-stage Trypanosoma brucei brucei.
疟疾和锥虫病是折磨着数百万人的疾病,迫切需要新的治疗方法。我们已经测试了两种特性明确的细胞穿透肽(CPPs)的抗寄生虫活性。一种名为TP10的CPP对恶性疟原虫的血液阶段和蚊虫阶段均具有广谱抗寄生虫活性,并且对布氏布氏锥虫的血液阶段也有活性。
