Abstract
Artemisinins show the potential for neurotoxicity in preclinical studies. Artemisone is a leading candidate of second-generation semi-synthetic artemisinin derivatives for antimalarial therapy devoid of neurotoxicity. Artemisone showed 3-5-fold higher in vitro activity (50% effective concentration (EC50) = 0.14 nmol/L, EC90 = 2.55 nmol/L) than artesunate against fresh Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Gabon and a high-activity correlation indicates a shared drug target.Entities:
