- Absorption of the novel artemisinin derivatives artemisone and artemiside: Potential application of Pheroid technology
-
Artemisinins have low aqueous solubility that results in poor and erratic absorption upon oral administration. The poor solubility and erratic absorption usually translate to low bioavailability. Artemisinin-based monotherapy and combination therapies are

- Evaluation and optimization of synthetic routes from dihydroartemisinin to the alkylamino-artemisinins artemiside and artemisone: A test of N-glycosylation methodologies on a lipophilic peroxide
-
10-Alkylamino-artemisinins including artemiside and artemisone display enhanced activities against malaria. Earlier, dihydroartemisinin (DHA) TMS ether was converted by trimethylsilyl bromide into the 10-β-bromide that with amine nucleophiles provided the amino-artemisinins. In an attempt to develop more economic approaches, direct N-glycosylation of DHA was examined but 2-deoxyartemisinin was invariably obtained. However, hydroxyl group activation by conversion into the 10β-halide in non-polar solvents with anhydrous HCl and Group I and II metal halides, oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride with catalytic DMSO, and oxalyl bromide did succeed. The β-halides were converted in situ by thiomorpholine into artemiside, and by thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide into artemisone respectively in scalable reactions. Hydrogen peroxide-acetonitrile or the urea-hydrogen peroxide complex efficiently oxidized the sulfide artemiside to the sulfone artemisone. Overall, a generalized approach to 10-alkylamino-artemisinins is now available.
