Abstract

Dihydroartemisinin(DHA),an important artemisinin derivative,is one of new anti-malarial medicines developed by Chinese scientists.In recent years,it was reported that DHA is a promising anti-cancer medicine besides its extraordinary antimalarial activities.This article overviews the mechanisms,targets and signaling pathways of DHA based on the recent studies published in English and Chinese literatures.Specifically,this article covers some important topics,such as apoptosis,endoplasmic reticulum stress,the growth,proliferation and invasion of cancer cells,multidrug resistance and oxidative damage,in order to provide a better understanding to the anti-cancer effects of DHA and information for new drug development and design.
