The Antagonizing Role of Heme in the Antimalarial Function of Artemisinin: Elevating Intracellular Free Heme Negatively Impacts Artemisinin Activity in Plasmodium falciparum
The rich source of heme within malarial parasites has been considered to underly the action specificity of artemisinin. We reasoned that increasing intraparasitic free heme levels might further sensitize the parasites to artemisinin. Various means, such as modulating heme synthesis, degradation, pol...
