Researchers have combined artemisinin and coumarin to develop an autofluorescent compound that allows for precise imaging in live cells and is effective against drug-resistant malaria pathogens. This breakthrough represents a significant step forward in combating drug-resistant malaria.
Research ers at have developed a groundbreaking autofluorescent compound by combining artemisinin and coumarin, two plant-derived substances. This innovation allows for precise imaging in live cells and has proven effective against drug-resistant malaria pathogens, particularly plasmodium falciparum . The development of these autofluorescent hybrids, which can be observed without altering their effectiveness, represents a significant step forward in combating drug-resistant malaria .
Malaria remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases globally. The emergence of drug-resistant malaria parasites necessitates the continual development of new medications. A team of researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) led by Prof. Dr. Svetlana B. Tsogoeva has now combined the anti-malaria drug artemisinin with coumarin, which, like artemisinin, is also found in plants, and developed an auto-fluorescent compound from both bioactive substance
