Artenimol is an active metabolite of artesunate, with anti-malarial activity, and potential insulin sensitivity-improving, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration of artenimol and the hydrolysis of its active endoperoxide bridge moiety by liberated heme in parasite-infected red blood cells (RBCs), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and carbon-centered radicals form, which damage and kill parasitic organisms. Artenimol may also increase insulin sensitivity and improve insulin resistance. In addition, artenimol induces the 26S proteasome-mediated degradation of the androgen receptor (AR), thereby lowering AR expression, which may prevent androgen-responsive cellular proliferation. It also reduces luteinizing hormone LH) and testosterone levels, and may improve polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In addition, artenimol may modulate the immune system and may inhibit tumor cell proliferation through various apoptotic and non-apoptotic pathways. Alpha-dihydroartemisinin is a metabolite of artemisinin. Artemisinin, also known as Qinghaosu, and its derivatives are a group of drugs that possess the most rapid action of all current drugs against Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Treatments containing an artemisinin derivative (artemisinin-combination therapies, ACTs) are now standard treatment worldwide for P. falciparum malaria. The starting compound artemisinin is isolated from the plant Artemisia annua, sweet wormwood, an herb employed in Chinese traditional medicine.
