Protozoa-Caused Diseases
- Subject Os NCSU Research
By Gloria Jones
Diseases such as malaria
and amoebic dysentery are
difficult to treat because
they are resistant to drugs.
They are caused by
protozoa, which resist many
kinds of poisons that affect
the respiration of other
cells.
Dr. Joseph S. Kahn,
professor of biochemistry at
North Carolina State
University is looking at the
respiration process in the
cells of protozoa to gain a
'letter understanding of why
i hey show resistance to
drugs.
“Protozoa continue to
grow quite happily and
normally in the presence of
poisons that kill other
cells,” Kahn says. When the
poisons are gone, the
protozoa are still unaffected
ind function normally.
Bacteria, fungi and yeasts
are generally killed by
various drugs such as an
tibiotics, but with diseases
involving protozoa we run
up against a blank wall,
Kahn says. “Drugs in use
today for protozoan diseases
are not very satisfactory.”
Most cells contain small
bodies which act as a power
house, converting food into
energy which the cell needs
■0 function. These small
bodies are called
mitochondria.
Disease, or some drugs
and poisons, cause
mitochondria to waste
energy, preventing a cell

from multiplying or from
making proteins and other
materials essential to its
life. The cells starves to
death.
Kahn says that changes
which make protozoan cells
resistant to some drugs
seem to occur in the
mitochondria.
“If we can understand
how protozoa learn to live
with certain drugs, we may
be able to either alter the
drugs or find combinations
of drugs that can J fight
protozoan diseases,” he
says.
“We may also begin to
understand how mito
chondria convert food
to useful energy in the cell.”
The research, which in
volves the training of
graduate students in the
Department of Bio
chemistry at NCSU, is
funded as a N. C.

The researchers are also
seeking the knowledge that

of some antibiotics which
are now far too toxic for use
on people or animals.
