RESEARCH EXPERIENCE (Forty two years)

Broad area of specialization: Life Sciences Education and Research


Specific areas of specialization: Parasitic and microbial infections (mainly malaria,
leishmaniasis, amoebiasis, trichmoniasis and tuberculosis): new drug discovery,
biotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences, bioimmunotherapy, vaccination and
pathogenesis; neuroimmunomodulation, inflammation, drug- and immune-toxicology, and
science administration and communication/editing.

Brief summary of major scientific contributions

Malaria
1. Discovered four new 8-aminoquinoline molecules synthesized at NIPER as broad-
spectrum antimalarials which showed activity better than chloroquine and primaquine in
blood-schizontocidal and met-hemoglobulin toxicity evaluations. Two international (1 US
and 1 European) patents have been granted on this work.
2. Reported that recombinant human interleukin-12 sterile-protected rhesus monkeys
(Macaca mulatta) from Plasmodium cynomolgi B sporozoite-induced malaria.
3. Discovered that purified human C-reactive protein (CRP) sterile-protected rhesus monkeys
(M. mulatta) against P. cynomolgi B sporozoite-induced malaria.
4. Discovered that recombinant mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor
(GM-CSF) and methionine-enkephalin (M-ENK) or its fragment peptide Tyr-Tyr-Gly
protected mice against both sporozoite- and trophozoite-induced rodent malarias,
apparently via macrophage-mediated mechanisms which are, at least partly, nitric oxide-
dependent.
5. Developed a new rigorous rodent malaria vaccination model (P. yoelii nigeriensis/mouse)
to study mechanisms of protective immunity and to evaluate potential immunoadjuvants;
IL-1 fragment peptide 163-171 showed strong co-adjuvant activity with saponin.
6. Discovered M. assamensis and Presbytis entellus as the two new hosts of P. knowlesi.
7. Reported that an antigenic variant (W3) of P. knowlesi was relatively resistant to
chloroquine as compared to its parent strain (W1) in rhesus monkeys (M. mulatta); P.
falciparum antigenic variants also showed differences in their susceptibility to chloroquine,
in vitro.

8. Discovered a distinct dichotomy in the monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) generated from the
splenocytes of mice vaccinated with P. yoelii nigeriensis total parasite antigens soluble in
culture medium and saponin, based on their merozoite invasion inhibition and passive
transfer of protection activity.
9. Demonstrated that (1) probenecid (PB) is a blood-schizonticidal agent and (2) it synergizes
with both dapsone (DS) and proguanil (PG). A combination of all the three agents also
resulted in synergism, and reduced the required dose of DS, as compared to DS stand-alone
by 10.17-fold. This first report of the in vivo antimalarial activity of PB suggests that it can
be used as a new therapeutic agent to reduce dose-related toxicity of DS.
10. Developed a new experimental rodent model of cerebral malaria (P. yoelii nigeriensis
infection in Swiss mice.

Tuberculosis
1. Indo-European Union FP7 project: identified 34 new anti-tuberculosis (TB) compounds
as potential new drugs (IC99: 6.25 µg/ml) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Further,
12 compounds have been found active against an Indian M. tuberculosis clinical isolates
(resistant to isoniazid) at 6.25 µg/ml (IC99); apparently, two of them have the potential for
clinical testing.
2. Contributed extensively to the roles of innate immunity in TB, and discovered that (i)
purified mouse serum amyloid P-component (SAP, a pentraxin) significantly inhibited the
uptake of M. tuberculosis by mouse alveolar macrophages, in vitro, apparently through
mannose 6-phosphate (M6-P) receptors, and thus demonstrated M6-P receptors to be the
new type of receptors involved in the uptake of M. tuberculosis by macrophages, in vitro.
Further, discovered that purified mouse SAP activated alveolar macrophages to greatly
inhibit the intra-macrophage growth of M. tuberculosis, in vitro, apparently via nitric
oxide (NO)-dependent mechanism(s). All these original researches have greatly
contributed to our existing fundamental knowledge of TB, which are expected to help in
the discovery of new therapies for TB.
3. Discovered a new 5-nitroimidazole drug, satranidazole, to be active in an in vitro model
(Wayne model) of hypoxia-induced non-replicating persistent M. tuberculosis (latent
forms).
4. Developed a new short-term rodent model for the screening of potential anti-TB
compounds against M. smegmatis.
5. Demonstrated IL-6 as a potent biomarker of mycobacterial viability, virulence and
pathogenesis using cytokine multiplex systems and confocal microscopy. (In just last
18 months, our research paper on this work has 376 citations)

Acute-phase reactant biology


1. Reported that purified human CRP activated monkey macrophages for enhanced
phagocytosis of P. fragile-infected monkey erythrocytes, in vitro.
2. Discovered that purified human CRP induced increase in serum CSFs in monkeys (M.
mulatta) and stimulated monkey macrophages to elaborate CSFs, in vitro, and that
purified mouse SAP induced increase in serum CSFs in mice and stimulated mouse
macrophages to elaborate CSFs, in vitro.
3. Reported that spororzoite- and trophozoite-induced P. cynomolgi-infection in monkeys
induced increased production of serum CSFs. In vitro both intact P. cynomolgi-
infected monkey erythrocytes and their soluble components stimulated monkey
macrophages to produce CSFs, de novo. Similar results were obtained using P. berghei
and mice.

4. Studied the induction kinetics of SAP in various inbred and recombinant inbred Lr and
Ls mouse strains during Listeria monocytogenes infection. A strong correlation
between SAP levels and genetic control of host resistance to L. monocytogenes
infection was observed. In vitro, purified mouse SAP activated mouse macrophages
(peritoneal, BM-derived and subcutaneous) for the intracellular killing of L.
monocytogenes. Prof. Singh also reported several other immunoregulatory properties
of purified mouse SAP.

Neuroimmunomodulation
1. Discovered opiates as a new class of drugs which protected against malaria,
leishmaniasis and tuberculosis in rodents. Morphine in a dose-dependent manner,
biphasically modulated the course of P. berghei infection in mice; low doses provided
complete protection. Similarly, morphine protected both hamsters and mice infected
with Leishmaniasis donovani, in a macrophage-mediated and NO-dependent manner.
Further, morphine protected mice against M. tuberculosis H37Rv infection though
macrophage-mediated and NO-dependent mechanisms.
2. Reported that morphine, in a dose-dependent biphasic manner, modulated the
production of plasmodial antigens-induced production of CSFs by macrohpahes, in
vitro.
3. Reported that M-ENK and C.D.R.I. compound 82/205, modulated the elaboration of
CSFs by malarial antigens-stimulated macrophages, and of lymphokines (IFN- and
IL-4) by Con A-stimulated splenocytes; compound 82/205 was more potent.
4. Demonstrated that morphine, M-ENK, dermorphin and compounds 82/205 showed
high immunoadjuvant activity in a new rodent malaria (P. yoelii nigeriensis/mouse)
vaccination model.

Amoebiasis and trichomoniasis


1. Contributed extensively to the pre-clinical discovery/development of a new anti-
amoebic drug satranidazole, now on the market.
2. Developed a new model (Entamoeba muris/rat) for screening potential luminal
amoebcides.
3. Reported the anti-trichomonal activity of triclosan and nitazoxanide, separately, in
vitro.

PRODUCTS DEVELOPED:

Dr. Prati Pal Singh


18

1. Anti-Plasmodium yoelli nigeriensis monoclonal antibodies. (For details please see


product section “Monoclonal Antibodies” in Hybridoma and Hybridomics, 2003,
Vol. 22 (3), 61)
2. Was involved in the pre-clinical development of anti-amoebic drug satranidazole,
now on the market.
3. Identified four novel 8-aminoquinolines as broad spectrum antimalarias in rodent
malaria models and P. falciparum, in vitro. These compounds have been synthesized
at NIPER and have been patented. Their evaluation in non-human primate malarias
is being persued.
4. As part of the ongoing Indo-European Union FP7 funded project titled “New
Approaches to Target Tuberculosis”, identified 34 compounds to be active against
Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (by BACTEC 460 method) at 6.25
µg/mL(IC99). Six of these compounds have shown MIC values of ≤ 0.39 µg/ml.

5. Dapsone (DS)-chlorproguanil combination (Lapdap™), though effective against


human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, has been reported to reduce
hemoglobin concentration in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
deficiency due to dose-related toxicity of DS component. We have observed that (1)
probenecid (PB) is a blood-schizonticidal agent and (2) it synergizes with both DS
and proguanil (PG). A combination of all the three agents also resulted in synergism,
and reduced the required dose of DS, as compared to DS stand-alone, by 10.17-fold.
This first report of the in vivo antimalarial activity of PB suggests that it can be used
as a new therapeutic agent to reduce dose-related toxicity of DS.

6. Triclosan, at 50 µg/ml (minimal inhibitory concentration; MIC), was observed to be


active against both the metronidazole-sensitive and -resistant strains of T. vaginalis,
in vitro; the MICs of metronidazole against both these strains was 1.6 µg/ml and 4.8
µg/ml, respectively. The results of this first study demonstrate that triclosan may be
a promising potential agent for the treatment and management of human
trichomoniasis.
CONCEPTS CREATED

1. Bioimmunotherapy of malaria using rmGM CSF and met-enkephalin co-treatment.


2. Opioids as potential drugs for the treatment of microbial and parasitic diseases.
3. Generation of a qualitatively distinct dichotomous immune response to malaria in
vaccinated/protected mice, which probably ensued in the generation of MAbs with
functional heterogeneity.
4. Involvement of macrophage mannose 6-phosphate receptors in the uptake of
Mycobecterium tuberculosis.
5. Role of pentraxins in host defense from tuberculosis.
6. IL-6 has been identified as a potent biomarker of mycobacterial infections.

PROCESSES/MODELS/METHODOLGY/TECHNOLGY DEVELOPED

1. Developed a new rodent model for the screening of potential luminal amoebicides.
2. Developed a new rodent malaria (P. yoelli nigeriensis /mouse) vaccination model. As
this parasite causes a fulminating 100% lethal infection in mouse, vaccination-
induced protective immunity can be very clearly distinguished from slow-grade
infection- induced immunity.
Dr. Prati Pal Singh
19

3. Antigen-induced production of CSFs by macrophages in vitro, as a model for the


biological evaluation of potential immunomodulators. Extensive publication in high-
impact journals have been made on this new model.
4. Developed a new experimental rodent model of cerebral malaria (P. yoelli nigeriensis
infection in Swiss mice).
