Malaria is an important enemy threatening the safety of human life. According to statistics, 45,000 people die from malaria every year in the world. Malaria is transmitted mainly through mosquito bites, and when the malaria parasite enters the body, it can cause persistent fever, brain damage and even death in severe cases.
Artemisinin has saved millions of people from malaria. It is especially important for children who suffer from malaria. However, artemisinin's role is not limited to treating malaria. With the progress of modern scientific research and technology, different functions of artemisinin have been discovered.
1.Artemisinin is not only anti-malaria but also anti-cancer?
Artemisinin is not only an anti-malaria drug, but also a cancer-killing and anti-cancer drug. In 1995, researchers at the University of Washington discovered that artemisinin can inhibit pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and leukemia cells. But in the process of killing the "enemy", normal cells are not poisoned. After a number of experiments, the researchers found that it only takes 16 hours for artemisinin to eliminate all breast cancer cells in the test tube. At the same time, the normal cells touched by artemisinin are intact. Studies have confirmed that the main target of artemisinin attack is tumor cell membrane. When the tumor cell membrane is destroyed, the permeability will change, and the cells will absorb a large amount of water, resulting in swelling and death. Moreover, a large amount of calcium ions will also enter the cell and induce apoptosis.
In addition, studies also have found that artemisinin combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs is more effective in treating tumors. The safety of artemisinin is very high. In clinical application, the dose for anti-malaria is 3 times higher than the anti-cancer activity. Moreover artemisinin has no antagonistic effect with other anti-cancer drugs, and the possibility of drug resistance is very small, so it can play an important role in the treatment of tumors.
