Ingredient-level reference

Artesunate (intravenous reference)

Reference for: Artesunate. Source presentation: POWDER FOR INJECTION. Source route: intravenous.

Mechanism of action

The reference describes a proposed antimalarial pathway involving iron-mediated cleavage of the endoperoxide bridge in dihydroartemisinin (DHA). Reactive products then interact with parasite proteins and membranes.

Pharmacokinetics

Artesunate is rapidly converted to DHA by esterases and CYP2A6. The cited intravenous-bolus data in patients with severe malaria report half-lives of approximately 15 minutes for artesunate and 80 minutes for DHA. DHA undergoes glucuronidation, followed mainly by urinary elimination of conjugates. These intravenous findings do not establish oral or intramuscular exposure, and the label notes limited data in several patient groups.

Ingredient-level summary of the cited reference product. Study formulation, route, strength and population govern interpretation; these data do not establish pharmacokinetics or bioequivalence for Walter's formulation or fixed combination.

Manufacturing & packaging brief

Plan the dry-powder injectable presentation.

Use this preparation guide for Artesunate 60 mg Dry-powder injectables. These are the decisions to resolve with the technical team before a site, process and commercial scope are confirmed.

Presentation & formulation

Define the amount per container, salt-equivalence wording, route and proposed reconstitution presentation. Confirm the production route; a dry-powder listing alone does not establish lyophilisation.

Quality & technical transfer

Request review of the sterile-process strategy, applicable sterility, endotoxin and particulate controls, analytical methods and container-closure integrity requirements.

Review the technical documents

Packaging configuration

Provide vial size, stopper, seal and carton requirements. Identify any diluent and administration accessory separately, including their specifications and supply responsibilities.
