Arteether?Typical Properties

Product Description:
Arteether is a fast-acting blood schizonticidal agent belonging to the artemisinin class of antimalarial drugs. It is a semisynthetic derivative of artemisinin, a natural product isolated from the plant?Artemisia annua. Arteether is an ethyl ether derivative, typically available as a colorless or pale yellow oily liquid or crystalline solid.

It is primarily used for the treatment of severe and complicated malaria, especially those caused by?Plasmodium falciparum, including chloroquine-resistant and multi-drug-resistant strains. Its mechanism of action involves the formation of free radicals within the parasite, which leads to damage to parasitic proteins and membranes, rapidly clearing the parasites from the bloodstream.

Key Applications:

• Antimalarial Drug:?Crucial in the treatment of severe and complicated?Plasmodium falciparum?malaria, often administered intramuscularly. It is particularly important in regions where drug resistance is prevalent.

• Pharmaceutical Formulations:?Used as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in antimalarial injections and other formulations.

• Research & Development:?Employed in pharmaceutical research to develop new artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) and study antimalarial drug mechanisms and resistance.

• Tropical Medicine:?A vital medication in tropical medicine for emergency treatment and management of acute malarial episodes.
