Artesunate is converted in the body to its active metabolite, dihydroartemisinin (DHA). DHA's endoperoxide bridge reacts with heme, generating free radicals that inhibit protein and nucleic acid synthesis in Plasmodium parasites at all stages of the erythrocytic cycle. These free radicals can also alkylate parasitic proteins, including a calcium adenosine triphosphatase and EXP1, a glutathione S-transferase.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

A WHO report assessing the safety of artemisinin derivatives in pregnancy concluded that these drugs should continue to be available for the treatment of malaria in pregnancy, irrespective of the trimester. WHO also stressed that further study was needed. Therefore Artesunate tablet should be given to pregnant women especially, in first trimester if recommended by Registered Physician. Like many other drugs there is possibility for presence of artesunate in breast milk. Because of potential of adverse effect of artesunate in nursing baby, breast-feeding should be stopped during the treatment of malaria by Artesunate tablet.
