REVIEW ON ANTIMALARIAL

Pharmacy

Antimalarial medications are essential for both preventing and treating malaria, a potentially fatal illness spread by parasites that are bit by infected mosquitoes. An summary of the present state of antimalarial medications is given in this abstract, together with information on resistance trends, methods of action, effectiveness, and difficulties in controlling malaria. In regions with limited access to healthcare, malaria continues to pose a significant global health threat. Plasmodium parasites that are resistant to drugs are becoming more common, which emphasizes the need for novel antimalarial therapies. This abstract included a review of recent strategies and advancements in the creation of antimalarial medications. It was observed that targeting several stages of the parasite life cycle, including the liver and blood stages, is crucial for achieving effective treatment and halting transmission. The abstract also covered the potential acceleration of the hunt for novel antimalarial medicines through the use of computational approaches and high-throughput screening.
