The antimalarial activity of qinghaosu (artemisinine) againstPlasmodium falciparumin culture was enhanced by increased oxygen tension. Artesunate, a qinghaosu derivative, showed synergistic effects with miconazole, and with doxorubicin, both of which have been suggested to exert their chemotherapeutic effect through increasing the oxidant stress. In contrast, catalase, dithiothreitol and α-tocopherol reduced the effectiveness of qinghaosuin vitro. These results suggest that the action of qinghaosu and artesunate might involve increase in oxidant stress on the infected red cells.
