General description

Lumefantrine, also known as benflumetol is an aryl-amino alcohol. It is a member of the group of arylamine alcohols like quinine, mefloquine and halofantrine.

Application

Lumefantrine has been used:
to study its effect on ex-vivo Plasmodium falciparum sensitivity using the tritiated hypoxanthine-based assay
as a standard in the quantification of combined tablet formulation using HPTLC
as a drug molecule in in vitro growth inhibition assay for in vitro B. caballi growth inhibition studies

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lumefantrine is is an antimalarial for the treatment of multi-drug resistant strains of falciparum malaria.
