| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Artemether is an antiparasitic compound and a derivative of artemisinin (Item No. 11816).1 It induces mortality in adult wild-type and pfatp6-mutant P. falciparum but the efficacy is decreased in the mutants (IC50s = 8.2 and 13.5 nM, respectively).2 Artemether reduces parasitemia in P. falciparum-infected monkeys and P. berghei-infected mice with 50% curative dose (CD50) values of 7.1 and 55 mg/kg, respectively.3 It also reduces the worm burden of S. mansoni trematodes in mice when used at doses ranging from 200 to 500 mg/kg.1 Formulations containing artemether have been used in the treatment of malaria. | [Chemical Properties]
White Solid | [Uses]
Artemether and lumefantrine combination therapy is indicated for the treatment of acute uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, including malaria acquired in chloroquine-resistant areas. May also be used to treat uncomplicated malaria when | [Uses]
atypical antidepressant, norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and nicotinic antagonist | [Uses]
Derivative of Artemisinin (A777500). Antimalarial, used to treat strains of malaria which are multi-drug resistant. | [Definition]
ChEBI: An artemisinin derivative that is artemisinin in which the lactone has been converted to the corresponding lactol methyl ether. It is used in combination with lumefantrine as an antimalarial for the treatment of multi-drug resistant strains of falcip
