Artemisinin extracted from Artemisia annua L. is the best medicine with the highest efficiency, the most effective and the lowest toxicity in treating ague nowadays. At present, most studies focus on artemisinin and its derivatives, while the study and report about the other active components are rare. This paper purposed to further discover new indication of Artemisia annua L. connecting with ...

Shoot cultures of Artemisia annua L. were cultivated in three different micropropagation systems: an ultrasonic nutrient mist bioreactor (UNMB), a modified ultrasonic nutrient mist bioreactor (MUNMB) and solid culture in Magenta boxes. The shoots cultivated in the UNMB and MUNMB showed excellent growth. The dry weight increase (35 times) of shoot cultures in the MUNMB was higher than those (25 ...

Parasitism remains a challenge in the effective and efficient management of ruminant livestock. Among different approaches proposed for better these parasites, present work carried out on farm Faculty Agronomic Sciences (FSA) located Sékou, focused effectiveness annual mugwort powder (Artemisia annua) gastrointestinal nematodes (Nematoda) cattle. The coprological analyses were made at Laborator...

A. annua is so named because it is almost the only member of the genus with an annual cycle. It is a shrub, often growing over 2 m high (Ferreira et al., 1997; see Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2). Its leaves and flowers contain artemisinin, first isolated in China in 1971; this is the constituent with the greatest antimalarial activity (see Table 3.3). Artemisinin has been found in only two other sp...

The clinical assays of Jerome Munyangi in RDC [1,2] following those of Patrick Ogwang in Uganda [3] have clearly shown that Artemisia annua has prophylactic properties against malaria, but it is not known how and why. Artemisia plants are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) which generate prostaglandins and stimulate monocytes. PUFAs possess well documented antimalarial and prophylactic ...

This article treats Chinese medical theories and concepts as cultural constructs that arose as much from practice-oriented concerns as from socio-political negotiations within the medical field. It further explores the interface of the biological and cultural. It is often futile to investigate how Chinese medical descriptions relate to biological processes, because the local biologies that the ...

Artemisia annua is currently the only commercial source of the sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin. Although artemisinin is a major bioactive component present in this Chinese herb, leaf flavonoids have shown a variety of biological activities. The polyphenolic profile of extract from leaves of A. annua was assessed as a source of natural antioxidants. Total phenolic content and total flavonoid c...
