Abstract

Severe malaria has been, in part, associated with the ability of parasite infected red blood cells to aggregate together with uninfected erythrocytes to form rosettes via the parasite protein PfEMP-1. In this study, inhibitors of rosetting by the Plasmodium falciparum strain R-29, based on chemically modified heparin polysaccharides (IC50 = 1.97 x 10(-2) and 3.05 x 10(-3) mg center dot mL(-1)) and their depolymerized, low molecular weight derivatives were identified with reduced anticoagulant and protease (renin, pepsin, and cathepsin-D) activities. Low molecular weight derivatives of the two most effective inhibitors were shown to have distinct minimum size and strain-specific structural requirements for rosette disruption. These also formed distinct complexes in solution when bound to platelet-factor IV.
