In order to assess cardiac tolerance of halofantrine in children, we studied, retrospectively, 15 non complicated falciparum malaria cases treated with halofantrine, and focused on the effect on ventricular repolarisation. Our data showed that halofantrine can produce a moderate QTc

The Journal of pharmacy and pharmacology, 64(11), 1603-1613 (2012-10-13)
To investigate the population pharmacokinetics of the antimalarial halofantrine (HF) in healthy volunteers and patients with symptomatic falciparum malaria. Healthy volunteer data were obtained from six volunteers who received three different doses of HF (250, 500 and 1000 mg) after

PLoS genetics, 7(4), e1001383-e1001383 (2011-05-03)
The Plasmodium falciparum parasite's ability to adapt to environmental pressures, such as the human immune system and antimalarial drugs, makes malaria an enduring burden to public health. Understanding the genetic basis of these adaptations is critical to intervening successfully against
H Tie et al.
British journal of pharmacology, 130(8), 1967-1975 (2000-08-22)
Halofantrine is a widely used antimalarial agent which has been associated with prolongation of the 'QT interval' of the electrocardiogram (ECG), torsades de pointes and sudden death. Whilst QT prolongation is consistent with halofantrine-induced increases in cardiac ventricular action potential
René Holm et al.
European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics : official journal of Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Pharmazeutische Verfahrenstechnik e.V, 81(2), 281-287 (2012-04-03)
The bioavailability of the poorly soluble model drug halofantrine, dosed in a soy bean oil solution or in a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS), at two levels of lipid, was assessed in rats. Three rat models were used: intact rats
