Arterolane, also known as OZ277 or RBx 11160, is a substance that was tested for antimalarial activity[1] by Ranbaxy Laboratories.[2] It was discovered by US and European scientists who were coordinated by the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV).[3] Its molecular structure is uncommon for pharmacological compounds in that it has both a ozonide (trioxolane) group and an adamantane substituent.[4]
Initial results were disappointing, and in 2007 MMV withdrew support, after having invested $20M in the research;[5] Ranbaxy said at the time that it intended to continue developing the drug combination on its own.[2] Ranbaxy started a Phase II clinical trial of arterolane, in combination with piperaquine in 2009 that published in 2015.[6][7]
In 2012, Ranbaxy obtained approval to market the arterolane/piperaquine combination drug in India, under the brand name Synriam,[5] and in 2014 received approval to market it in Nigeria, Uganda, Senegal, Cameroon, Guinea, Kenya and Ivory Coast; it had already received approval in Uganda.[8]
