Title: Trioxaquines and heme-artemisinin adducts inhibit the in vitro formation of hemozoin better than chloroquine.

Authors: Loup C, Lelièvre J, Benoit-Vical F, Meunier B.

Abstract: Trioxaquines, potential antimalarial agents, and heme-artemisinin adducts, resulting from the alkylation of heme by artemisinin, were evaluated as inhibitors of beta-hematin formation in 10 M acetate medium at pH 5.
