 ARTEROLANE MALEATE 


BRAND NAME:- no specific brand in single composition.



ARTEROLANE, also known as OZ277 or RBx 11160, is a substance that was tested for antimalarial activity. Its molecular structure is uncommon for pharmacological compounds in that it has both an ozonide (trioxolane) group and an adamantane substituent.

      

MECHANISM & PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION:-   

ARTEROLANE acts rapidly at all stages of asexual schizogony  of malarial parasite including multidrug resistant P.f.,but has no effect on the hepatic stages. It accumulates in the food vacuole of the parasite,and thus differs from artemisinins which do not accumulates at this site. It also has moderate gametocidal activity similar to that of artemether - LUMEFANTRINE . 

Arterolane are well absorbed orally, and absorption is unaffected by food. Peak plasma arterolane concentration is reached 3-5 hours and it has a large volume of distribution . The major metabolic pathway is oxidation,Mainly  by CYP3A4 , which is also the primary ISOENZYME responsible for PIPERAQUINE metabolism . Arterolane is short acting and it's plasma t½ varies between 1-3 hours.


(It is a artemisinin based combination Therapy (ACT )  regimens for Uncomplicated falciparum malaria . )

Chlorthalidone Uses, Side Effects, and More....

 Chlorthalidone  Brand name:- Hythalton 50,100mg , Hydrazide, Thalizide ( 12.5, 25) . Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Pharmacodynamic:- Not 🚫 available.  Pharmacokinetics:- Chlortalidone is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral ingestion. It has a long half-life and therefore a prolonged diuretic action, which results in continued diuretic effects despite a skipped dose. This prolonged action of chlortalidone despite missing doses may account for the higher efficacy of chlortalidone compared to the shorter half-life medication, hydrochlorothiazide. Chlortalidone is eliminated from the body mostly by the kidney, as unchanged drug. Thus, in persons with diminished kidney function, the clearance of chlortalidone is reduced and the elimination half-life is increased. As with other thiazide diuretics, ch...

Chlordiazepoxide Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Chlordiazepoxide Brand name:- Librium 10, 25 mg tabs; Equilibrium 10mg tab. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Pharmacodynamic:-  Chlordiazepoxide has antianxiety, sedative, appetite-stimulating and weak analgesic actions. The drug seems to block EEG arousal from stimulation in the brain stem reticular formation. The drug has been studied extensively in many species of animals and these studies are suggestive of action on the limbic system of the brain, which recent evidence indicates is involved in emotional responses. Hostile monkeys were made tame by oral drug doses which did not cause sedation. Chlordiazepoxide revealed a "taming" action with the elimination of fear and aggression. The taming effect of chlordiazepoxide was further demonstrated in rats made vicious by lesions in the septal area of the brain. The drug dos...
