Artemisia annua
The source of artemisinin, the most effective antimalarial drug; used in TCM for 2000+ years for fever and malaria; artemisinin combination therapy is WHO first-line malaria treatment.
Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb used for over 2000 years to treat malaria and fevers. Its primary active compound, artemisinin, and its derivatives are the cornerstone of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), which are the WHO-recommended first-line treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The herb also contains arteannuin, scopoletin, and flavonoids, contributing to its antiparasitic and potential anticancer adjuvant properties.
Artemisinin and its derivatives are activated by heme iron released from hemoglobin digestion in malaria parasites, generating free radicals that alkylate and damage parasite proteins, leading to rapid parasite death. This action is selective for the intraerythrocytic stages of Plasmodium species. Additionally, artemisinin inhibits the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) ortholog PfATP6 in the parasite, disrupting calcium homeostasis. The flavonoids in A. annua may enhance artemisinin's bioavailability and provide synergistic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
