Abstract:

It has been found in recent years that Artesunate(Art),a water soluble derivative of arteannuin,mainly previously used for its anti-malarial activity,has some other effects,e.g.it could act as an anti-tumor agent by way of inducing cell apoptosis,antagonizing angiogenesis,reversing immuno- suppression of tumor cells,etc.More and more attention is being paid to the anti-tumor effects of Art.Such progress is reviewed in this paper.
