A Water-Soluble Polysaccharide from the Fruit Bodies of Bulgaria inquinans (Fries) and Its Anti-Malarial Activity
Figure 10
The deduced anti-malarial action of BIWS-4b: when
infected with malaria, the host generates a protective immune response,
including cellular and humoral immunity. BIWS-4b can significantly enhance the
immune competence of the host and exhibits remarkable prophylactic activity
against malaria. In combination with artesunate, BIWS-4b can restore the
artesunate-suppressed immune function and enhance the anti-malarial activity of
artesunate.
