A high-sensitivity HPLC assay for measuring intracellular Na(+) and K(+) and its application to Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes.

Abstract:
The measurement of intracellular ion concentrations, and the screening of chemical agents to identify molecules targeting ion transport, has traditionally involved low-throughput techniques. Here we present a novel HPLC method that allows the rapid, high-sensitivity measurement of cell Na(+) and K(+) content, demonstrating its utility by monitoring the ionic changes induced in the intracellular malaria parasite by the new spiroindolone antimalarial KAE609.
