This is an open-label pharmacokinetic study in 24 healthy Thai participants. Participants will be admitted in the inpatient ward and each participant will attend a total of 4 visits, including one screening visit and three hospital admissions. Participants will be randomized into one of six groups.

Each group will receive 3 drug regimens consisting of (1) piperaquine, (2) pyronaridine plus artesunate, or (3) piperaquine, pyronaridine, and artesunate, administered once per day for three consecutive days in different sequential orders.

After each regimen, participants will be followed up for six weeks for clinical assessments and laboratory evaluations to study the pharmacokinetics. A washout period of at least eight weeks will be implemented between each regimen.
