Arterolane kills malaria parasites quickly by generating reactive oxygen species that damage their vital proteins. Piperaquine complements this action by inhibiting the parasite’s ability to detoxify heme, a byproduct of hemoglobin digestion. This dual action stops the infection, clears the parasites from the bloodstream, and prevents relapse.
