Description

Sodium Artesunate is the water-soluble sodium salt of artesunate, a key semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin. This compound is critically important as a first-line active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the global fight against malaria, particularly for severe and complicated cases. It is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers producing injectable and oral antimalarial formulations, as well as for research institutions developing new therapeutic protocols.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary active ingredient in injectable and oral formulations for the treatment of severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria, often in combination therapy.
• Antimalarial Drug Manufacturing: Core component in the production of WHO-prequalified and FDA-approved antimalarial drugs, ensuring global supply chain reliability.
• Research & Development: Used in pharmacological, toxicological, and clinical studies to explore new treatment regimens, combination therapies, and drug delivery systems.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity chemical standard for quality control and analytical method development in regulatory and quality assurance laboratories.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Potential application in developing treatments for parasitic infections in animals.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Artesunate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for pharmaceutical applications. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling via HPLC, in alignment with major pharmacopoeial guidelines. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. For long-term storage, consider conditions under an inert atmosphere.
