Abstract:
ABSTRACTDihydroartemisinin-piperaquine is a fixed-dose artemisinin-based combination treatment. Some antimalarials have altered pharmacokinetics in pregnancy. Pregnant women in the 2nd or 3rd trimester and matched nonpregnant women with uncomplicated falciparum malaria were treated with a total of 6.4 mg/kg of body weight dihydroartemisinin and 51.2 mg/kg piperaquine once daily for 3 days. Venous blood samples were drawn at prespecified time points over 9 weeks. Plasma dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine concentrations were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTPregnant women are particularly vulnerable to malaria. The pharmacokinetic properties of antimalarial drugs are often affected by pregnancy, resulting in lower drug concentrations and a consequently higher risk of treatment failure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the population pharmacokinetic properties of piperaquine and dihydroartemisinin in pregnant and nonpregnant women with uncomplicated malaria. Twenty-four pregnant and 24 matched nonpregnant women on the Thai-Myanmar boarder were treated with a standard fixed oral 3-day treatment, and venous plasma concentrations o

Abstract:
ABSTRACTDihydroartemisinin-piperaquine is an artemisinin-based combination treatment (ACT) recommended by the WHO for uncomplicatedPlasmodium falciparummalaria, and it is being used increasingly for resistant vivax malaria where combination with primaquine is required for radical cure. The WHO recently reinforced its recommendations to add a single dose of primaquine to ACTs to reduceP. falciparumtransmission in low-transmission settings. The pharmacokinetics of primaquine and dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine were evaluated in 16 healthy Thai adult volunteers in a randomized crossover study. Vol

Abstract:
Artemether-lumefantrine is a first-line regimen for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Previous studies have reported changes in the pharmacokinetics and clinical outcomes following treatment with artemether-lumefantrine in pregnant women compared to nonpregnant adults; however, the results are inconclusive. We conducted a study in rural Uganda to compare the pharmacokinetics of artemether-lumefantrine and the treatment responses between 30 pregnant women and 30 nonpregnant adults with uncomplicatedPlasmodium falciparummalaria.

ABSTRACT To provide novel data relating to the dispositions, effects, and toxicities of the artemisinin derivatives in severe malaria, we studied 30 Vietnamese adults with slide-positive falciparum malaria treated with intravenous artesunate. Twelve patients with complications (severe; group 1) and 8 patients without complications but requiring parenteral therapy (moderately severe; group 2) received 120 mg of artesunate by injection, and 10 patients with moderately severe complications (group 3) were given 240 mg by infusion.

ABSTRACT The combination of artemether (ARM) and lumefantrine is currently the first-line treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in mainland Tanzania. While the exposure to lumefantrine has been associated with the probability of adequate clinical and parasitological cure, increasing exposure to artemether and the active metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) has been shown to decrease the parasite clearance time.

ABSTRACT Compared to healthy subjects, malaria patients show a reduction in the mean oral clearance (1.19 versus 5.87 liters/h/kg of body weight) and apparent volume of distribution (1.47 versus 8.02 liters/kg) of dihydroartemisinin in Vietnamese patients following treatment with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (Artekin) for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum. Dihydroartemisinin is responsible for most of the ex vivo antimalarial activity of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine.

Artesunate (AS) is the most widely used artemisinin derivative. In this thesis, we characterized the population pharmacokinetics of AS and its active metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) following oral administration of AS in different populations. In Chapter II, we developed a population pharmacokinetic model of AS and DHA in healthy subjects. These subjects received either single- or multiple-dosing of oral AS, as a m

Artemisinin derivatives are key to the current global treatment approach for malaria. However, much remains unknown regarding the pharmacokinetics of these agents, particularly in children and pregnant women, two groups highly vulnerable to development of severe malaria infection. In this thesis, nonlinear mixed effects modeling is used to characterize the pharmacokinetics of the artemisinin derivative artesunate and its active metabolite, dihydoartemisinin (DHA), in children and in pregnant women.

Abstract:
Malaria is the most important parasitic disease in man and it kills approximately 2,000 people each day. Pregnant women are especially vulnerable to malaria with increased incidence and mortality rates. There are indications that pregnancy alters the pharmacokinetic properties of many antimalarial drugs. This is worrisome as lower drug exposures might result in lowered efficacy and lower drug exposures can also accelerate the development and spread of resistant parasites. The aim of this research was to study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the most commonly used drugs for the tre
