Product Introduction:
Alpha-Dihydroartemisinin, commonly known as Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), is the active metabolite of artemisinin and a key semisynthetic derivative. It is formed by the reduction of artemisinin and features the same crucial peroxide bridge responsible for its antimalarial activity. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder.
DHA is considered one of the most potent and rapidly acting antimalarial drugs, often used in Artemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs) due to its high efficacy and good tolerability.
Main Uses:
-
Antimalarial Drug (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient – API): Dihydroartemisinin is a primary active pharmaceutical ingredient used in the formulation of antimalarial drugs, particularly in highly effective Artemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs). It is active against all species of malaria parasites, including multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum.
-
Pharmaceutical Intermediates: DHA itself serves as a crucial intermediate for the synthesis of other important artemisinin derivatives, such as artemether and artesunate, which are also widely used in ACTs.
-
Research and Development: Beyond malaria, Dihydroartemisinin is a subject of ongoing research for its potential therapeutic applications. Studies explore its activity against various cancers, parasitic infections (e.g., schistosomiasis), and some autoimmune conditions.
-
Combination Therapies: DHA is a preferred component in ACTs due to its rapid action and potent effect, often combined with a longer-acting partner drug to achieve high cure rates and prevent the development of drug resistance.
