43
ARTEMISININ DRUGS Immediate onset and rapid reduction of parasitaemia with complete clearance in most cases within 48 hours Clinical recovery of the patient, e.g. defervescence is faster than with other antimalarials Efficacy is high even in areas with multidrug resistant strains.
44
ARTEMISININ Artemisinin is not very soluble either in water or oil. Converted to dihydroartemisinin, which is a potent antimalarial compound Available for oral and rectal use in several countries in Asia.
45
DERIVATIVES OF ARTEMISININ USED IN TREATMENT OF MALARIA Artemether Arteether Artesunate
46
ARTEMETHER Methyl ether of dihydroartemisinin Superior to intravenous quinine with respect to survival and parasite clearance Available as tablets, capsules and as IM injectable form In India, available as 40mg capsules and 80mg/ml ampoule
47
ARTEMETHER CAPSULES - MONOTHERAPY
48
ARTEMETHER CAPSULES + MEFLOQUINE TABLETS

ARTEETHER Ethyl ether of dihydroartemisinin Therapeutically equivalent to quinine in cerebral malaria Available as arteether and / arteether arteether developed by WHO and The Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) / arteether developed by CDRI
51
ARTEETHER A longer t 1/2 beta and more lipophilic properties than artemether favouring accumulation in brain tissue and thus the treatment of cerebral malaria were regarded as advantages over the other compounds. Available as 150mg per 2ml ampoule

55
ARTESUNATE TABS + MEFLOQUINE TABS
56
ARTESUNATE INJECTION
57
MECHANISM OF ACTION iron-mediated cleavage of the peroxide bridge and generation of an organic free radical. Haem bound iron (but also free iron) may serve as a catalyst. The artemisinin radical binds subsequently to membrane proteins, and alkylation reactions eventually cause destruction of the parasite.
58
ANTIMALARIAL EFFICACY Rapidly acting blood schizontocidal antimalarials against chloroquine sensitive and chloroquine resistant falciparum as well as vivax malaria quickly arrest the ring or the trophozoite development and also prevent pathological sequelae Fever subsides and parasites are cleared rapidly Defervescence occurs within 2-3 days after drug administration Ninety percent clearance of asexual erythrocytic parasitaemia is usually observed within 4 hours
60
ARTEMISININ DERIVATIVES – EFFECTS ON ROSETTING AND CYTOADHERANCE erythrocytes containing mature forms of P. falciparum ahdere to microvascular endothelium cytoadherance. disappears from circulation→ sequestration. Erythrocytes containing mature parasites also adhere to uninfected parasites, leading to the formation of “rosettes”.
61
Cytoadherance and rosetting → microcirculatory obstruction in falciparum malaria, All artemisinin drugs prevent the development of ring stage parasites to the more mature pathogenic stages that rosette and cytoadhere to capillaries
62
PHARMACOKINETICS Absorption of orally administered artemisinin or its derivatives seems to be rapid but incomplete Substantial hydrolysis of artesunate (probable complete) and artemether into dihydroartemisinin probably occurs even before absorption Elimination is mainly by hepatic metabolism Arteether has much slower elimination
63
Artesunate, artemether, arteether and probably also artemisinin itself are transformed into dihydro- artemisinin, which is subsequently converted into inactive metabolites
64
INDICATIONS As a safe and effective alternative to quinine in the treatment of severe malaria Treatment of uncomplicated malaria - limited to patients infected with multidrug resistant malaria
65
ADR The artemisinins are extremely well tolerated and virtually without adverse effects Toxicological studies in animals have shown that the toxicity of artemisinin, artemether and artesunate is much less than that of chloroquine. Significant adverse effects or signs of toxicity of the artemisinins have not been reported in human patients treated with therapeutic dosages
66
ADR Common adverse effects - Headache, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, occasional diarrhoea, symptoms that are associated with with malaria and which resolve with appropriate treatment. Animal studies have demonstrated limited symptomatic and pathological evidence of neurotoxicity following the parenteral administration of high doses of either artemether or arteether
67
There is no clinical evidence of serious neurotoxicity from the use of any artemisinin drug in man in prospective studies of over 10000 patients.
68
