Sanofi and global health charity PATH have come together to launch a large-scale production line of malaria jab semisynthetic artemisinin at Sanofi’s Garessio site in Italy.

Global demand for artemisinin, the key ingredient of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for malaria, has increased since the World Health Organization identified ACTs as the most effective malaria treatment available.

Because the existing botanical supply of artemisinin – derived from the sweet wormwood plant – is inconsistent, having multiple sources of high-quality product will strengthen its supply chain, contribute to a more stable price, and ultimately ensure greater availability of treatment to people suffering from malaria, according to Sanofi.
