Abstract
ABSTRACT
Artemisinin and curcumin show an additive interaction in killing
Plasmodium falciparum
in culture. In vivo, 3 oral doses of curcumin following a single injection of α,β-arteether to
Plasmodium berghei
-infected mice are able to prevent recrudescence due to α,β-arteether monotherapy and ensure almost 100% survival of the animals.
