Currently available antimalarial drugs can be classified into four broad categories according to their chemical structures and modes of actionArylamino alcohol compounds: quinine, quinidine, chloroquine, amodiaquine, mefloquine, halofantrine, piperaquine, and lumefantrine Antimalarial treatment with a single medicine: either a single active compound or a synergistic combination of two compounds with related mechanisms of action Antimalarial drugs are used for the treatment and prevention of malaria infection. Currently there are four major drug classes to treat malaria, which contain quinoline-based compounds, antifolates, artemisinin derivatives, and protocol for assessing antimalarial drug efficacy in high transmission areas. •Most important drugs in anti-malarial Antimalarials are antiparasitic chemotherapeutic drugs that are used to prevent and cure. Currently available antimalarials fall into three broad categories according to their chemical structure and mode of action (AppendixA) Antimalarial drugs are used for the treatment and prevention of malaria infection.

The antimalarials in common use come from the following classes of compounds: the quinolines (chloroquine, quinine, mefloquine, amodiaquine, primaquine), the antifolates This document is a PDF generated from the WHO Guidelines for malaria hosted on the MAGICapp online platform:/guideline/ Each time the Outline the contraindications and toxicity of antimalarial drugs. Recommendations for monitoring the therapeutic eficacy of antimalarial medicines for uncomplicated P. vivax malaria are included in the WHO standard eficacy protocol (WHO,) ANTIMALARIAL DRUG CLASSES. Most antimalarial drugs target the erythrocytic stage of malaria infection, which is the phase •Drugs active against erythrocytic phase. Most antimalarial drugs target the erythrocytic stage of malaria infection, which is the phase of infection that causes symptomatic illness (figure 1) To guide malaria treatment appropriately, it is important to identify three factors: (1) the infecting Plasmodium species, (2) the clinical status of the patient, and (3) the drug susceptibility of the infecting parasites (the geographic area from where the infection was acquired from and any previous antimalarial medications).
