Abstract:
Artemisinin and its derivatives are nowadays among the most effective antimalarials. However, the relapse rate with artemisinin and related compounds is relatively high. In order to overcome this, some experimental formulations of prolonged release tablet of artesunat are tested. The chosen formulation met the following demands: after an effective loading concentration of the active compound, there is a steady release of maintenance dose during 8 hours.
