Study on evaluation of therapeutic effects of artelinate and metaartelinate on experimental malarial parasite

ABSTRACT

Artelinate and metaartelinat are water-soluble and relatively stable derivatives of artemisinin. we carried out studies on the antimalarial action of them. Experiments were done in vitro in mice infected with P.berghei and in vitro with synchronous cultures of P. falciparum. The results showed artelinat had good effect on both cloroquin sensitive and cloroquin resistant strain of P. berghei and P. falciparum. This effect is better than artemisinin's. Metaartelinate had the same effect with artelinat on cloroquin sensitive P. berghei, but have effect on resistant strain only during treatment time
