Artemether is a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin (qinghaosu), a naturally occurring peroxide lactone derived from a traditional Chinese herbal remedy Artemisia annua L., to enhance the solubility and antimalarial activity of its parental compound. Artemether exhibits potent antimalarial and antischistosomal activities against malarial parasites and Schistosoma japonicum infections. Although it has not been well elucidated, an endoperoxide bridge within the chemical structure of Artemether might be the key characteristic considered to be responsible for its antimalarial and antischistosomal activities, which can be metabolized by malarial or schistosomal parasites, under in vivo conditions, generating detrimental oxygen radicals to attack parasite macromolecules.

Dosage form
33.3mg/kg, 50mg/kg, 66.6mg/kg (p.o.), once a day for 10 days
Application
Compared with the untreated control group, artemether-treated rat C6 glioma primary tumor growth rate and mean tumor volume data indicate that artemether has an inhibitory effect on tumor growth. Within the concentration range used (33.3-66.6 mg / kg daily), artemether has a dose-dependent inhibition of tumor mass in the C6 glioma model in vivo, and co-administration with ferrous sulfate may have effects on animals with tumor synergistic inhibition.
Other notes
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
