氯喹原本是治疗疟疾的特效药,但由于疟原虫对其产生抗药性,这种药物在很多地方已经不再使用。澳大利亚和德国科学家发现,疟原虫的抗药性也有弱点,通过增加服药次数,氯喹仍然能够起作用。澳大利亚国立大学近日发表一份声明说,该校生物学院研究人员罗伊娜·马丁和德国海德堡大学的同行共同发现,导致疟原虫产生抗药性的蛋白质也有“软肋”。“我们 Chloroquine was originally a cure for malaria, but because of its resistance to Plasmodium, the drug is no longer used in many places. Australian and German scientists also found weaknesses in the resistance of the malaria parasite, and chloroquine still works by increasing the number of doses.
