Target snapshot
chlorproguanil-dapsone plus artesunate (chlorproguanil-dapsone plus artesunate) — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This combination antimalarial drug works by inhibiting parasite dihydrofolate reductase (via chlorproguanil and dapsone) and disrupting mitochondrial function (via artesunate) to kill Plasmodium parasites through multiple pathways.
