Description

Dihydroartemisinin is a natural compound that can be isolated from Artemisia annua. It is used to treat malaria. Dihydroartemisinin may also be used as an anticancer drug due to its ability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells, including human osteosarcoma cells. This drug has been shown to have no cardiac effects in rats and mice. The mechanism of action for this drug is not yet known but it may be related to the inhibition of autophagy or the reaction solution.
