Artemisinin and its derivatives artemether, artesunate sodium, dihydroartemisinin, etc. were first extracted from traditional Chinese medicine in 1971. They are effective against all kinds of Plasmodium, especially in areas with increasing resistance to chloroquine, quinine, pyrimethamine and other antimalarial drugs. Drug fever is the main adverse reaction of this kind of drugs, but pregnant women should not use it except for severe cerebral malaria resistant to chloroquine.

5-aminopyrimidine is a diaminopyrimidine drug with complete absorption, slow excretion and long-lasting effect. It can inhibit the DNA synthesis of Plasmodium mainly by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, and inhibit the development of various Plasmodium gametophytes in mosquitoes, so it can prevent malaria transmission.
