He is the first to prove artemisinin's curative effect on falciparum malaria and severe malaria, and contribute in qinghaosu (artemisinin) research in Project 523. He devised and researched a series of artemisinin-based combinations: dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine phosphate-primaquine combination (CV8) which was registered and produced in Vienam in 1997. It was the first-line treatment drug for malaria and given for free in Vietnam. Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine phosphate combination, Artemisinin- piperaquine combination both have been registered and produced in China. Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine combination was included in the 2nd edition of "Malaria treatment Guidelines? by WHO in 2010. He has published over 50 papers on malaria research and artemisinin derivatives. Klappentext Artemisinin-Based and Other Antimalarials: Detailed Account of Studies by Chinese Scientists Who Discovered and Developed Them provides a historical and scientific background of the discovery and development of artemisinin, artemisinin derivatives, combination drugs and related chemicals. It is a historical document, a scientific treatise, and a fascinating description of innovative research on new drug development that is carried out under extremely difficult conditions. The book also includes detailed experiments, physical-chemical procedures, practical methodologies and clinical trials. It is a valuable reference for students and researchers in the fields of scientific history, medicine, pharmaceutical science, chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
