Artemisinin Stimulates Neuronal Cell Viability and Possess a Neuroprotective Effect In Vitro by Sergey A. Pukhov, Alexey V. Semakov, Nadezhda E. Pukaeva, Olga A. Kukharskaya, Tatyana V. Ivanova, Viktoriya S. Kryshkova, Sergey O. Bachurin, Michail S. Kukharsky

“…Artemisinin exhibited a stimulating effect on SH-SY5Y and HEK-293 cells and enhanced the survival of primary neurons at low concentrations (1 µM). In contrast, artemisinin derivatives, such as dihydroartemisinin, anhydrodihydroartemisinin, and artemisitene, did not display similar stimulatory activity, suggesting that the intact lactone ring is crucial for this property. …”
