Piperaquine Phosphate Tablets

Function and Efficacy

Piperaquine affects the ultrastructure of the erythrozoite of Plasmodium berghei, mainly by causing the swelling of the trophozoite food vacuole membrane and mitochondria. The morphology of hemochromatin varies, mostly in the shape of long spindles. Spiral membranes appear in the mitochondria and food vacuole cavities. These changes are progressive and aggravated. Its mode of action may change the function of the membrane by affecting the relevant enzyme system on the membrane. Mitochondrial swelling and other variants lead to the destruction of its physiological function. The increase in the number of mitochondria and the appearance of more membrane bodies in their cavities may be a compensatory reaction after the structure is damaged.
