NOT Open Access | Effects of nanocapsules of poly-ε-caprolactone containing artemisinin on zebrafish early-life stages and adults
Artemisinin extracted from Artemisia annua L. plants has a range of properties that qualifies it to treat several diseases, such as malaria and cancer. However, it has short half-life, which requires making continuous use of it, which has motivated the association of artemisinin (ART) with polymeric nanoparticles to increase its therapeutic efficiency.
