Lumefantrine
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']').
Lumefantrine (or benflumetol) is an antimalarial drug. It is only used in combination with artemether. The term "co-artemether" is sometimes used to describe this combination.[1] Lumefantrine has a much longer half life compared to artemether and so is therefore thought to clear any residual parasites that remain after combination treatment.[2]
Lumefantrine, along with pyronaridine and naphtoquine, were synthesized in course of the Project 523 antimalaria drug research initiated in 1967; these compounds are all used in combination antimalaria therapies.[3][4][5]
