Artesunate for injection

Function and Efficacy

Pharmacology: This product is a derivative of target=_blank artemisinin. It has a strong and rapid killing effect on the erythrocytic stage of malarial parasites and can quickly control clinical attacks and symptoms. The mechanism of action of artemisinin is not very clear, but it mainly interferes with the function of mitochondria, the surface membrane of malarial parasites. Artemisinin changes the membrane structure of malarial parasites by affecting the ultrastructure of the erythrocytic stage. Due to the effect on the food vesicle membrane, the malarial parasites' nutrient intake is blocked. When the malarial parasites lose a large amount of cytoplasm and nutrients and cannot be supplemented, they die quickly. Its mode of action is through its internal peroxide (dioxygen) bridge, mediated by the free iron produced after the decomposition of target=_blank hemoglobin, to produce unstable organic free radicals and/or other electrophilic mediators, and then form covalent adducts with malarial parasite proteins, causing the malarial parasite to die. Toxicology: Animal toxicology experiments show that this product has certain embryotoxicity, which is manifested as embryo absorption.
