Aim: To establish 3D QSAR model of propenamides with anti-malarial activities.
Methods: Chemical synthesis combined with comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA).
Results: Generated QSAR models for activities of inhibiting chloroquine resistive malaria (W2) and chloroquine sensitive malaria (D6).
Conclusion: The activity of anti-W2 depends mostly on steric interaction and the activity of anti-D6 depends on both steric and electrostatic interaction.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Resistance of the parasites to known antimalarial drugs has provided the necessity to find new drugs from natural products against malaria. The aim of the study was to evaluate the in vitro antiplasmodial activity of some plants used by Traditional Medical Practitioners (TMPs) of Prometra and Rukararwe in malaria treatment in Uganda to provide scientific proof of the efficacies claimed by these Herbalists.
Materials And Methods: The air dried samples of Clerodendrum rotundifolium (leaves), Microglossa pyrifolia (leaves), Momordica foetida (leaves) and Zanthoxylum chalybeum (stem bark) used for malaria treatment by TMPs were successively extracted with ethyl acetate, methanol and water to yield twelve extracts.

NAD is an essential coenzyme involved in numerous metabolic pathways. Its principal role is in redox reactions, and as such it is not heavily "consumed" by cells. Yet a number of signaling pathways that bring about its consumption have recently emerged.
