Description

In 1971, shortly after the mother of artemisinin was separated in China, artemisinin was discovered to be a highly effective antimalarial drug. These compounds combine potent and rapid antimalarial activity with a wide range of therapeutic indicators and a lack of clinically important drug resistance. Artemisinin-containing treatment programs meet the urgent need to find effective treatments for multidrug-resistant malaria, and have recently been promoted for widespread use.
