mercaptoethanol and Malaria

mercaptoethanol has been researched along with Malaria in 3 studies

Mercaptoethanol: A water-soluble thiol derived from hydrogen sulfide and ethanol. It is used as a reducing agent for disulfide bonds and to protect sulfhydryl groups from oxidation.

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.

"Malaria parasite homogenate, the lipid extracts, and an unsaturated fatty acid, linoleic acid, which have been shown to promote beta-hematin formation in vitro, were used to investigate the mechanism of hemozoin biosynthesis, a distinct metabolic function of the malaria parasite."3.71A physiochemical mechanism of hemozoin (beta-hematin) synthesis by malaria parasite.
