Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/medicines/human/medicines/001199/human_med_001450.jsp&mid=WC0b01ac058001d124 | https://www.hpra.ie/docs/default-source/3rd-party-documents/educational-materials/eurartesim_hcp-guide.pdf?sfvrsn=4 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20649950

Sodium artesunate, an artemisinin derivative, is used in malaria treatment. Artesunate, has been licensed in Thailand for the treatment of falciparum malaria since 1990. It is a potent antimalarial drug that can reduce parasitaemia by 90% within 24 h of administration. Sodium artesunate was first isolated in China, it is a water soluble antimalaria used clinically in China.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Active metabolite of artesunate was detected in CSF after intravenous administration of artesunate.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Oral route is possible: One group of 45 patients received 400 mg of Sodium artesunate on the first day of treatment and then 200 mg daily for 4 days for a total of 1200 mg (group I: 5-day treatment). A second group of 46 patients received 400 mg of Sodium artesunate on the first day of treatment and then 200 mg daily for 6 days for a total of 1600 mg (group II: 7-day treatment). 5- or 7-day regimens of sodium artesunate with a total dose of 1200-1600 mg are effective and safe in treating falciparum malaria acquired in Thailand. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9241384
Artesunate can be used orally, by intravenous or intramuscular injection or as a suppository. As an injection, artesunate 2.4mg/kg bw i.v or i.m. given on admission (time =0), then at 12hr and 24hr, then once a day.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
An artemisinin concentration of 100-300 nM in vitro caused swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, as well as injuries both to the limiting and to the nuclear membranes of chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum (ItG2 strain) within 2 h.
