Description

Artemether is a drug that is used to treat malaria. It is an antimalarial agent with a matrix effect, and it inhibits the polymerase chain reaction by binding to the response element of the DNA. Artemether has been shown to have long-term toxicity in animal studies and can cause adverse effects such as cardiac toxicity and drug interactions. There are analytical methods for measuring artemether concentrations in blood samples, including high performance liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay.
