Anwendung

Artemisinin has been used:

• in drug susceptibility assays
• as a standard for its quantification from artemisinin from hairy roots
• to check cell viability using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay
• as an antimalarial agent to investigate the role of autophagy-related (ATG) genes throughout the P. falciparum asexual and sexual blood stages

Biochem./physiol. Wirkung

Artemisinin (Qinghaosu), a sesquiterpene lactone, is a highly active anti-malarial (falciparum malaria) drug. Artemisinin is also an anthelmintic (parasitic worm) effective against the blood fluke, schistosomiasis.
