The implicated fava bean constituents are the hydroxypyrimidine glucosides vicine and convicine, which upon hydrolysis of their \u03b2-O-glucosidic bond, become potent pro-oxidants. In this work we show that the glucosides inhibit the growth of<jats:italic>Plasmodium falciparum<\/jats:italic>, increase the hexose-monophosphate shunt activity and the phagocytosis of malaria-infected erythrocytes. These activities are exacerbated in the presence of \u03b2-glucosidase, implicating their pro-oxidant aglycones in the toxic effect, and are more pronounced in infected G6PD<jats:sup>-<\/jats:sup>erythrocytes. These results suggest that G6PD<jats:sup>-<\/jats:sup>infected erythrocytes are more susceptible to phagocytic cells, and that fava bean pro-oxidants are more efficiently suppressing parasite propagation in G6PD<jats:sup>-<\/jats:sup>erythrocytes, either by directly affecting parasite growth, or by means of enhanced phagocytic elimination of infected cells. The present findings could account for the relative resistance of G6PD<jats:sup>-<\/jats:sup>bearers to falciparum malaria, and establish a link between dietary habits and malaria in the selection of the G6PD<jats:sup>-<\/jats:sup>genotype.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182000066221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T13:30:04Z","timestamp":1244208604000},"page":"7-18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Resistance
