Artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone originally extracted from the
medicinal plant Artemisia annua L., is an effective antimalarial
agent, particularly for multi-drug resistant and cerebral malaria.
However, the concentration of artemisinin in the plant is very low.
Because the chemical synthesis of artemisinin is complicated and
not economically feasible in view of the poor yield of the drug,
the intact plant remains the only viable source of artemisinin
production. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the
concentration of artemisinin in A. annua to reduce the cost of
artemisinin based antimalarial drugs. Plant scientists have focused
their efforts on A. annua for a higher artemisinin crop yield. With
the present volume, we are bringing together the research which is
being done on this plant throughout the world and future
possibilities for scientists and researchers who want to work on
it.
