%X Malaria remains one of the major global public health problems due to the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum. In recent years, clinical pharmacology has significantly contributed to the optimal dosing regimens of antimalarial drugs. The application of pharmacometric modeling and simulation has assisted in the accurate characterization of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships and the optimization of the dosage regimens of existing antimalarial drugs, including new antimalarial candidates for multidrug-resistant P falciparum in different populations.
