Artemisinin, a natural compound from Artemisia annua, is highly effective in treating drug-resistant malaria. Because chemical synthesis of this natural terpenoid is not economically feasible, its only source remains as the native plant which produces only small quantities of it
Rick M Fairhurst et al.
The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 87(2), 231-241 (2012-08-03)
Artemisinin-based combination therapies are the most effective drugs to treat Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Reduced sensitivity to artemisinin monotherapy, coupled with the emergence of parasite resistance to all partner drugs, threaten to place millions of patients at risk of inadequate treatment

Expert opinion on therapeutic patents, 22(10), 1179-1203 (2012-09-14)
The isolation of artemisinin from an ancient Chinese remedy in the early 1970s heralded the beginning of a new era in antimalarial drug therapy culminating in artemisinin-based combination therapies currently being the mainstay of malaria treatment worldwide. Ongoing research on

The definition of artemisinin resistance is becoming one of a prolonged parasite clearance phenotype, although this variable is a complex function of both host and parasite characteristics. We discuss some of the limitations of this definition of artemisinin resistance, particularly
Debashish Das et al.
Malaria journal, 12, 125-125 (2013-04-23)
Parasitaemia on Day 3 has been proposed as a useful alert of potential artemisinin resistance, however, the normal variation of parasite clearance observed in artemisinin-based combination therapy clinical trials is poorly documented. The trends in early parasitological response following treatment
