Artemisinins were discovered to be highly effective antimalarial drugs shortly after the isolation of the parent artemisinin in 1971 in China. These compounds combine potent, rapid antimalarial activity with a wide therapeutic index and an absence of ...

Profiling of the anti-malarial drug candidate SC83288 against artemisinins in Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
BackgroundThe increased resistance of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to currently employed drugs creates an urgent call for novel anti-malarial drugs.

Methylene Homologues of Artemisone: An Unexpected Structure–Activity Relationship and a Possible Implication for the Design of C10‐Substituted Artemisinins [PDF]
We sought to establish if methylene homologues of artemisone are biologically more active and more stable than artemisone. The analogy is drawn with the conversion of natural O‐ and N‐glycosides into more stable C‐glycosides that may possess enhanced ...

Evolution of Partial Resistance to Artemisinins in Malaria Parasites in Uganda.
BACKGROUND Partial resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to the artemisinin component of artemisinin-based combination therapies, the most important malaria drugs, emerged in Southeast Asia and now threatens East Africa. Partial resistance, which manifests

Artemisinin and artemisinin derivatives as anti-fibrotic therapeutics
Fibrosis is a pathological reparative process that can occur in most organs and is responsible for nearly half of deaths in the developed world. Despite considerable research, few therapies have proven effective and been approved clinically for treatment of fibrosis.

A recent Letter to the Editor (R. K. Haynes, D. Monti, D. Taramelli, N. Basilico, S. Parapini, and P. Olliaro, Letter, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 47:1175, 2003) presented cogent evidence that artemisinin and its derivatives do not inhibit hemozoin formation in vitro.

As artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs) are compromised by resistance, we are evaluating triple combination therapies (TACTs) comprising an amino-artemisinin, a redox drug, and a third drug with different mode of action.

Synthesis and Antileishmanial Activity of 1,2,4,5-Tetraoxanes against Leishmania donovani [PDF]
A chemically diverse range of novel tetraoxanes was synthesized and evaluated in vitro against intramacrophage amastigote forms of Leishmania donovani. All 15 tested tetraoxanes displayed activity, with IC50 values ranging from 2 to 45 µm.
