'''Piperaquine''' is an antiparasitic drug used in combination with ] to treat ]. Piperaquine was developed under the Chinese National Malaria Elimination Programme in the 1960s and was adopted throughout China as a replacement for the structurally similar antimalarial drug chloroquine. Due to widespread parasite resistance to piperaquine, the drug fell out of use as a ], and is instead used as a partner drug for ]. Piperaquine kills parasites by disrupting the detoxification of host ].
'''Piperaquine''' is an ], a bisquinoline first synthesised in the 1960s, and used extensively in China and Indochina as prophylaxis and treatment during the next 20 years. Usage declined in the 1980s as piperaquine-resistant strains of '']'' arose and artemisinin-based antimalarials became available. However, Chinese scientists discovered that piperaquine was suitable for artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs).<ref>{{cite journal | author=Davis TM, Hung TY, Sim IK, Karunajeewa HA, Ilett KF | title=Piperaquine: a resurgent antimalarial drug | journal=Drugs | year=2005 | volume=65 | issue=1 | pages=75–87 | PMID=15610051 }}</ref>

==Pharmacology==
{{pharma-stub}}
===Mechanism of action===
Like chloroquine, piperaquine is thought to function by accumulating in the parasite ] and interfering with the detoxification of ] into ].<ref name=Eastman2009/>

===Resistance===
Parasites that survive piperaquine treatment have been increasingly reported since 2010, particularly in Southeast Asia. The epicenter of piperaquine resistance appears to be western ] where in 2014 over 40% of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine treatments failed to eliminate parasites from the patient's blood.<ref name=Duru2016>{{cite journal|title=''Plasmodium falciparum'' resistance to artemisinin derivatives and piperaquine: a major challenge for malaria elimination in Cambodia |vauthors=Duru V, Witkowski B, Menard D |journal=The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene |volume=95 |issue=6 |date=2016 |pages=1228–1238 |doi=10.4269/ajtmh.16-0234|pmc=5154433 |pmid=27928074}}</ref> Characterizing piperaquine-resistant parasites has been technically challenging, as parasites that survive piperaquine treatment in patients appear to remain sensitive to piperaquine ''in vitro''; i.e. piperaquine appears to have the same ] in sensitive parasites and resistant parasites.<ref name=Duru2016/>

The mechanism by which parasites become resistant to piperaquine remains unclear. Amplification of the parasite proteases ] and ], both involved in degrading host hemoglobin, is associated with resistance to piperaquine.<ref name=Haldar2018>{{cite journal|title=Drug resistance in ''Plasmodium'' |journal=Nature Reviews Microbiology |date=2018 |vauthors=Haldar K, Bhattacharjee S, Safeukui I |volume=16 |issue=3 |pages=156–170 |doi=10.1038/nrmicro.2017.161|pmc=6371404 |pmid=29355852}}</ref> Similarly, mutations in a gene related to chloroquine resistance, '']'', have been associated with piperaquine resistance; however, parasites that are resistant to chloroquine remain sensitive to piperaquine.<ref name=Haldar2018/><ref name=Duru2016/> In contrast, amplification of the gene for the parasite transporter '']'', a mechanism of parasite resistance to ], is inversely correlated with piperaquine resistance.<ref name=Duru2016/>

===Pharmacokinetics===
Piperaquine is a ] drug and therefore is rapidly absorbed and ] across much of the body.<ref name=Eastman2009/> The drug reaches its maximal concentrations approximately 2 hours after administration.<ref name=Eastman2009/>

==Chemistry==
Piperaquine is available as a base, and as a water-soluble tetraphosphate salt.<ref name=Davis/>

==History==
Piperaquine was discovered in the 1960s by two separate groups working independently of one another: the ] in China and the ] in France.<ref name=Davis>{{cite journal |vauthors=Davis TM, Hung TY, Sim IK, Karunajeewa HA, Ilett KF | title=Piperaquine: a resurgent antimalarial drug | journal=Drugs | year=2005 | volume=65 | issue=1 | pages=75–87 | pmid=15610051 | doi=10.2165/00003495-200565010-00004}}</ref> In the 1970s and 1980s piperaquine became the primary antimalarial drug of the Chinese National Malaria Control Programme due to increased parasite resistance to chloroquine.<ref name=Eastman2009>{{cite journal|title=Artemisinin-based combination therapies: a vital tool in efforts to eliminate malaria |author2-link=David A.
