Artemisinin is the active principle of the Chinese herb Artemisia annua L. In addition to its anti-malarial activity, artemisinin and its derivatives have been shown to exert profound anti-cancer activity. The endoperoxide moiety in the chemical structure of artemisinin is thought to be responsible for the bioactivity. Here, we analyzed the cytotoxicity and the ability of artemisinin, five of its ...<br/><br/>V Badireenath Konkimalla, Martina Blunder, Bernhard Korn, Shahid A. Soomro, F.

Artesunate is a derivate of artemisinin, an antimalarial drug used for the treatment of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and related parasites. Artesunate is hydrolized rapidly to dihydroartemisinin in vivo. It has been found that artemisinin and its derivatives may have neurotoxic effects. A method was developed to analyze human plasma samples for the contents of artesunate and dihydroarte...<br/><br/>Stijn A.A. Van Quekelberghe, Shahid A. Soomro, Jan A. Cordonnier, and F.

Small nanoparticles of defined three-dimensional structure can be formed through the programmed, sequence-specific assembly of short DNA strands. The extension of this concept to large nanoparticles of > 100 nm diameter, let alone macroscopic crystals has proven challenging. To date, no designed crystals, generated through base pairing between complementary nucleic acid strands have been reporte...<br/><br/>Martin Meng, Matthias Bauer, Oliver Plietzsch, Carolin Ahlborn, Shahid Soomro, Thierry Muller, Stefan Bräse, Wolfgang Wenzel, and Clemens Richert (2008) <i>Particles 2008</i> <br/>

Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene compound of plant origin. It has a low molecular weight, and it contains five oxygen atoms, two in a lactone function, one is part of a seven membered ring system and two forms a peroxide function bridging over the seven-membered ring. It is a highly energetic molecule prone to lose its activity if circumstances permit. Reduction of its lactone function into dihydroa...<br/><br/>F. H. Jansen, Shahid A.

Two types of dendritic nanoparticles were prepared, which contain (E)-stilbene chromophores in the terminal positions of the dendrons. The compounds showed a highly efficient photoreactivity in the course of which statistical CC bond formations led to a crosslinking of the particles. Finally, all stilbene chromophores reacted and the typical (E)-stilbene absorption and fluorescence disappeared com...<br/><br/>Shahid A.

In addition to the model compounds 4a and 4b, the dendrimers 11 and 14 with trans-stilbene chromophores in the core and on the periphery of the dendrons were prepared and their photochemistry was studied in solution and in neat films. Due to the flexibility of the arms, intramolecular and intermolecular CC bonds are formed on irradiation. Thus, the generation of nanoparticles, which represent smal...<br/><br/>Shahid A.
