 Qing hao (Artemisia annua)
Artemisia annua has been used for hundreds of years in traditional medicine in China. The leaves
were harvested in the summer, before the flowers appear, and dried for later use. The dried eaves are
generally used in the treatment of fever, malaria, colds, diarrhea, as a digestive, and, externally, as a
wound remedy. As recently as 1971 a Chinese research group isolated the active principle, the
sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin, which proved to be very effective against the malarial parasite
Plasmodium falciparum, and particularly towards chloroquine-resistant malaria.
 In an attempt to overcome the frequent problem of many patients having a recurrence of the illness
one month after the treatment, a number of derivatives of artemisinin have been developed (ethers,
such as artemether and arteether, and esters, such as sodium artesunate and sodium artenlinate).
Although artemisinin has been synthesized, this process is complex and not economically viable, and
it is currently still extracted and isolated from the aerial parts of A. annua. Today artemisinin and its
derivatives represent a promising group of antimalarial agents.
