J. Med. Chem, May 18, 2010
The semisynthetic artemisinin derivatives such as artesunate and artemether, along with the fully synthetic endoperoxide antimalarials (e.g., OZ277, Nature 2004, 430, 900−904), are believed to mediate their antimalarial effects by iron-induced formation of carbon-centered radicals capable of alkylating heme and/or protein.
