Dihydroartemisinin, medicine manufacturer
Dihydroartemisinin (or dihydroqinghaosu or artenimol) is a drug used to treat malaria. Dihydroartemisinin is the active metabolite of all artemisinin compounds (artemisinin, artesunate, artemether, etc.) and is also available as a drug in itself. It is a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin and is widely used as an intermediate in the preparation of other artemisinin-derived antimalarial drugs. It is sold commercially in combination with piperaquine and has been shown to be equivalent to artemether/lumefantrine.
Functions and Applications: According to over 2000 clinical case studies, when used for the treatment of tertian fever, it is better than chloroquine in terms of time to suppress the pathogen. No adverse effect in clinical cases. Esp. useful for the treatment of cases resistant to chloroquine. However, the short term recurrance rate is higher than chloroquine.
