Uses
β-Aminoarteether (SM934 free base) is an Artemisinin derivative with orally active. β-Aminoarteether can be used for inflammation and autoimmune disease research, such as lupus diseases[1].
Definition
ChEBI: Beta-aminoarteether is an artemisinin derivative in which the lactone of (+)-artemisinin has been converted into the corresponding lactol 2-aminoethyl ether [beta (S) configuration at the new stereocentre]. It is an artemisinin derivative and a primary amino compound.
in vivo
β-Aminoarteether (SM934; 1-10 mg/kg; oral administration; daliy; for 3 months) treatment significantly delays the progression of glomerulonephritis and increases the survival rate of NZB/W F1 mice. β-Aminoarteether treatment promots the IL-10 production of macrophages from NZB/W F1 mice[1].
| Animal Model: | Female NZB/W F1 mice (Six and half months old)[1] |
| Dosage: | 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Oral administration; daliy; for 3 months |
| Result: | Significantly delayed the progression of glomerulonephritis and increased the survival rate of NZB/W F1 mice. |
