Description and Uses
Artemether is an antiparasitic compound and a derivative of artemisinin . 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). 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. It also reduces the worm burden of S. mansoni trematodes in mice when used at doses ranging from 200 to 500 mg/kg. Formulations containing artemether have been used in the treatment of malaria.
Derivative of Artemisinin (A777500). Antimalarial, used to treat strains of malaria which are multi-drug resistant.
