摘要

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 immunosuppression 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.
