Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone endoperoxide, obtained from Artemisia annua, and extensively used as an antimalarial drug. Many studies have reported the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of artemisinins; however, there are no studies that compare such effects between cancer cell lines and
The aim of this study was to develop nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) as a promising nanocarrier to enhance the anticancer activity of artemether.The niosomes were prepared by thin-film hydration method containing a mixture of Span, Tween and The aim of the study was to design liposomes (Lips) of artemether (ARM), a plant-derived drug for treatment of metastatic tumors, for the intravenous delivery. The ARM-Lips were prepared using ethanol injection method. Based on the optimization of formulation with single-factor experiments, ARM-Lips
The pharmaceutical application of artemether (ARM) as an anticancer natural agent is hampered due to its poor solubility and bioavailability. In the present study, ARM was encapsulated in human serum albumin nanoparticles (HSA NPs) via desolvation method led to improvement of the water solubility by
The antimalarial artemisinin derivatives artesunate (ART), arteether (ARE), and artemether (ARM) reveal remarkable antineoplastic activity. In the present investigation, we identified mRNA expression profiles associated with the response of tumor cells to ART, ARE, and ARM. We performed correlation
Artemether, a lipid-soluble derivative of artemisinin has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we have investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in the inhibition of neuroinflammation by the drug. The effects of artemether on neuroinflammation-mediated HT22
Artemether has been used for a long time in the treatment of malaria as safe and non expensive drug. It possesses potent anticancer effects in cancer cell lines. Our aim was to develop transferrin-modified-artemether lipid nanospheres as targeted anticancer drug delivery system. In this study,
OBJECTIVE
Semisynthetic derivatives of the antimalarial drug artemisinin may also possess anticancer properties. The ability to detect artemisinin uptake and distribution in cells would facilitate live cell imaging without labelling. This study describes mid-range infrared absorption spectra for
Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases characterized by the growth of abnormal cells, which is the second leading cause of death globally. To treat cancer, currently, a number of anticancer drugs belonging to various classes chemically are available. The discovery of artemisinin and
Artemisinin and its derivatives, including artesunate (ART) and artemether (ARM), exert anticancer effects in the micromolar range in drug and radiation-resistant cell lines. Artemisinin has been reported to sensitize cervical cancer cells to radiotherapy. In the present study, we determined whether
Artemether (ART), a derivative of the well-known anti-malaria drug artemisinin, demonstrates potent anti-cancer activity in various cancer cells, however its effects on lymphoma remain unknown. The present study demonstrated that ART significantly inhibited proliferation of diffuse large B cell
The antimalarial artemisinins also reveal profound cytotoxic activity against tumor cells. Artemisinins harbor an endoperoxide bridge whose cleavage results in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or artemisinin carbon-centered free radicals. Established cancer drugs such as
Acanthamoeba sp. parasites are the causative agents of Acanthamoeba keratitis, fatal granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, and cutaneous infections. However, there are currently no effective drugs for these organisms. Here, we evaluated the activity of the antimalarial agent artemether against
High grade-gliomas are highly invasive and prone to metastasis, leading to poor survival and prognosis. Currently, we urgently need a new treatment strategy to effectively inhibit glioma. In this study, artemether and paclitaxel were used as two agents for tumour suppression. Two functional
BACKGROUND
Development of agents that specifically kill cancer cells and simultaneously elicit antitumor immune response is a step forward in cancer therapy. In the present study, we investigated whether the administration of artemether contributes to the augmentation of antitumor immunity and the
