Artesunate nanoemulsion drug composition and preparation method thereof

The invention discloses an Artesunate nanoemulsion drug that is an O/W (oil-in-water type) nanoemulsion system consisting of ethyl oleate, Tween-80, normal butanol, ultrapure water and Artesunate. The nanoemulsion drug effectively overcomes the first-pass effect of traditional tablets in liver, causes no sense of pain in injection and greatly improves the insecticidal and helminthic effect of original Artesunate. Meanwhile, the nanoemulsion system has high drug-loading rate, is stable when stored, has certain slow release function compared with merchant Artesunate injection, and further is convenient for administration, thus greatly improving the bioavailability. Besides, shown by acute toxicity tests and clinical drug effect tests on mice, the nanoemulsion has no obvious toxic or side effect and is a safe, reliable and high-efficiency nano level antiparasitic drug.
