Mechanism of Action:
α-β Arteether is a powerful schizontocidal agent derived from artemisinin, extracted from Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood). It acts on the asexual erythrocytic stages of the malaria parasite by producing free radicals that damage parasite proteins, leading to rapid death of the parasite. It has a fast onset of action and high efficacy, especially in areas with multi-drug resistant strains.
