Abstract

Artemether is a methyl ether derivative of artemisinin. It is antimalarial agent used to treat acute uncomplicated malaria. It is administered in combination with lumefantrine for improved efficiency. Artemether with combination of lumefantrine is the most common artemisinin based combination therapy used in malaria endemic areas. This review article represents the different analytical methods which have been reported for estimation of Artemether in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The Chromatographic methods like, HPLC, RP-HTPLC, RP-HPLC, LC-UV/MS and UV Spectrophotometric method were reported.
