Use of artesunate in non-malarial indications.

CONCLUSION: Artesunate and artemisinin derivatives in combination with praziquantel were effective against schistosomiasis, and could be used as a chemoprophylactic drug alone. They could be interesting as anti-CMV and anti-tumor treatment. Additional trials in humans are required to assess the efficacy of artesunate and artemisinin derivatives in diseases other than malaria. PMID: 29422423 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
