Abstract:

The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Plasmodium spp., the etiological agent of malaria, constitutes a major threat to controlling the disease^1,2. Artemisinin, a natural compound from Artemisia annua(sweet wormwood) plants, is highly effective against drug-resistant malaria. Even so, low-cost artemisinin-based drugs are lacking because of the high cost of obtaining natural or chemically synthesized artemisinin^1,2
