Waking the sleeping beauty.
Artemisinin derivatives are essential for the treatment of Plasmodium falciparum malaria throughout the world. Given orally, artesunate and artemether—the 2 main compounds—are rapidly absorbed and metabolized to dihydroartemisinin (DHA), the metabolite responsible for the majority of the parasitocidal activity. The precise mechanism of action is still debated , but the main properties of this c...
