As the first-line antimalarial drugs, artemisinins gained wide acceptance after the emergence of resistance to chloroquine in the 1950s. Artemisinin-based drugs have saved lives, especially in developing countries. The discovery of artemisinin was unique, timely, and fascinating, and the benefits of artemisinin were with far-reaching implications ...

Chemistry of artemisinin: an overview
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1994The endoperoxide sesquiterpene lactone, artemisinin, and its derivatives have become increasingly important as antimalarial drugs with impressive activity against multidrug resistant forms of Plasmodium falciparum. Artemisinin has a novel structure among known antimalarial compounds with a unique 1,2,4-trioxane ring that is essential for activity. This

An Update on Artemisinin Resistance
2019While the precise mode of action of artemisinin (ART) derivatives remains obscure, it is nonetheless commonly accepted that ART generates reactive oxygen intermediates that contribute to cell death. Also, numerous studies confirm that point mutations in the propeller domain of K13 protein play a key role in resistance to ART derivatives. Because of its

Artemisinins and immune system
European Journal of Pharmacology, 2011Artemisinins in combination with other antimalarial drugs remain the mainstay of current antimalarial armamentarium. It is interesting to note that many traditional drugs with antiprotozoal background can wield immunomodulation on the recipient's immune system in a positive or negative direction. Artemisinins also attribute immunomodulatory distensions.

Artemisinins: Artemisinin, Dihydroartemisinin, Artemether and Artesunate
2011Artemisinin comes from the plant, Artemisia annua, an ancient Chinese herbal remedy for relapsing fever. Rediscovery of its antimalarial action in China in the 1970s has seen it and its semisynthetic derivatives become the most useful drugs for most malarial illness. Artemisinins have a sesquiterpene lactone structure.
