Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB06708 https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=7866ec19-dfac-47d4-a53f-511a12643cbf

Lumefantrine is an antimalarial agent used to treat acute uncomplicated malaria. It is administered in combination with artemether for improved efficacy (Coartem tablets). Lumefantrine is a blood schizonticide active against erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum. The exact mechanism by which lumefantrine exerts its antimalarial effect is unknown. The most common adverse reactions of Coartem in adults are headache, anorexia, dizziness, asthenia, arthralgia and myalgia.

Comment: Human liver microsomes, Recombinant CYP3A4; Modest changes (<2.5-fold increase) in systemic exposure were observed with inhibitors or substrates of CYP3A4 including ketoconazole, mefloquine or quinine. The concentrations seen in the ketoconazole drug interaction study were within the range of systemic concentrations of Coartem seen in malaria patients in Phase III efficacy and safety studies. The concurrent oral administration of ketoconazole (400 mg on Day 1 followed by 200 mg on days 2,3, 4 and 5) with co-artemether (single dose of 4 tablets of 20 mg artemether/120 mg lumefantrine) led to a modest increase in lumefantrine (1.3-fold (Cmax), 1.6-fold (AUClast)) exposure in healthy subjects.
