摘要：

Malaria continues to be a serious health problem in the tropical world. The fight against malaria is ridden with a number of technical, logistic and economic problems. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage due to failure of mosquito control methods and development of resistance of parasite to the existing antimalarials. The search for newer antimalarial has led to the development of artemisinin, which is a promising drug. This article discusses the present status in the production and development of artemisinin and its potential as a potent antimalarial drug. (C) 1999 IUBMB. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
