Artemisinin Analogues as a Novel Class of Antimalarial Agents: Recent Developments, Current Scenario and Future Perspectives

The comprehensive chronological advancement and statistical account of

the recent developments and current scenario on antimalarial chemotherapy, in

particularly, based on various types of artemisinin analogues and their potential as

antimalarial agents have been schematically presented in this book chapter. These

studies had compared efficacies of various semi-synthetic artemisinin analogues with

that of standard reference drug artemisinin, β-Arteether and various other anti-malarial

drugs. Thus, this book chapter highlights the recent advancements and historical

developments observed in the medicinal chemistry of artemisinin since its discovery

during the past 49 years (1971-2020). Hence, this book chapter will serve as first-hand

information on artemisinin-based antimalarial peroxides to organic and medicinal

chemists, as well as biologist/pharmacologists working on anti-malarial drug discovery

and development.

Keywords: Antimalarial peroxides, Arteether, Artemisinin, Artesunate, Malaria, Multi-drug Resistant.
