Guest guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 Mechanistically, the TCM herb qinghao (artemisia annua) kills parasites by oxidative stress. Qinghao is undergoing investigation as an anti-cancer agent, east and west, and indeed has been used in China for many years[1,2] " A reference to the healing power of qinghao is to be found in a list of " Prescriptions for 52 Kinds of Disease " written 2000 years ago " . In modern times: " It has been applied in several thousand cases of tertian malaria , malignant malaria, cerebral malaria and those patients with chloroquine tolerance. " [3]. Note: Consider the possibility that the Chinese term 'malignant malaria' may refer to leukemia since time immemorial. ( Comments ? ) Background: From http://homepages.uel.ac.uk/4474p/qingh.htm a description of the action of the herb on parasite metabolism is given: " The compound is activated by the intra-parasitic haem to irreversibly decompose, generating free radicals that alkylate and oxidises proteins and lipids. The membrane of the parasite is damaged by lipid peroxidation and channel proteins' inactivation. (Ridley & Hudson 1998). .. " . Synergy of artemisinin derivatives and chemotoxic agents on the parasite have also been shown " Artesunate, a qinghaosu derivative, showed synergistic effects with miconazole, and with doxorubicin, both of which have been suggested to exert their chemotherapeutic effect through increasing the oxidant stress. In contrast, catalase, dithiothreitol and alpha-tocopherol reduced the effectiveness of qinghaosu in vitro. " [4] By analogy with cancer cells a similar action was theorised by Lai and Singh in 1995 and shown to have a specific effect on leukemia: " Rapid cell death, as evidenced by a decrease in cell counts, was observed when molt-4-lymphoblastoid cells, a human leukemia cell line, were exposed to holotransferrin (12 microM) and dihydroartemisinin (1-200 microM). ..... This drug combination may provide a novel approach for cancer treatment. " [5]. Subsequent work by Lai and Singh has been to demonstrate activity against breast cancer cells in vitro using holotransferrin to load cancer cells with iron which subsequently triggers the oxidative action of artemisinin [6] A possibly wider spectrum of activity has been found in the water soluble synthetic derivative of artemisinin, artesunate (ART) " ART was most active against leukemia and colon cancer cell lines (mean GI50 values: 1.11+/-0.56 microM and2.13+/-0.74 microM , respectively). " and " Intermediate GI50 values were obtained for melanomas, breast,ovarian, prostate, CNS, and renal cancer cell lines. Importantly, a comparison of ART's cytotoxicity with those of other standard cytostatic drugs showed that ART was active in molar ranges comparable to those of established anti-tumor drugs. " [7] The number of PubMed references to use of qinghao derivatives grows steadily. Canburst and other proprietary artemesisins are now available by mail order via the Internet. It is possible the variable success found using artemisinins to combat cancer may be due to the general failure hitherto by conventional clinicians to recognise that even the herbal derivatives of qinghao act upon meridians (Liver principally) and that to treat a cancer which is not accessible through the Liver meridian may have less chance of success. Cheers, Sammy. REFERENCES: 1: Asiaweek. 1994 May 18;:12. Related Articles, Links Herbal remedy. Winning the malaria war. [No authors listed] The Chinese knew it all along. A reference to the healing power of qinghao is to be found in a list of " Prescriptions for 52 Kinds of Disease " written 2000 years ago. Now artemether, a derivative of the Chinese herb, has been proven the most effective tool in the fight against drug-resistant malaria. In a study of 97 severe cases conducted on the Thai-Cambodia border by Juntra Karbwang, artemether proved three times more effective than quinine. " Dr. Karbwang's study is of particular importance because it has been conducted in an area where the malaria parasite has become a monster, with resistance to most of the commonly used drugs, " says Tore Godal, director of the UN tropical disease program. Used in Vietnam, a related herbal extract slashed malaria mortality rates by 80%. The drug will be manufactured in Kunming, China, and marketed by France's Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Doma. They needn't worry about demand, according to Nakajima Hiroshi. " In many countries malaria is worsening, " says the World Health Organization director-general. " It kills some 1.5 to 3 million a year. The scientific demonstration of the success of this drug is a dramatic step forward for health.

Related Articles, Links How Chinese scientists discovered qinghaosu (artemisinin) and developed its derivatives? What are the future perspectives? Li Y, Wu YL. Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. yli Since the middle of this century and especially since the 1960s and 1970s. Chinese scientists have put considerable effort and resources into the search for new antimalarial compounds extracted from Chinese traditional herbs. Archaeological findings indicate that qinghao (Artemisia annua L.) has been used as a traditional remedy in China for over two thousand years. Its antimalarial principle was finally isolated in 1971 and named artemisinin or qinghaosu (meaning the principle of qinghao in Chinese). Its rapid action, low toxicity and powerful effect against falciparum malaria made it a favored subject for research. In 1976, the unique structure of the molecule, characterized by an endoperoxide and an alternative O-C-O-C segment, was identified. The specific lactone reduction discovered during the determination of the structure opened the way for the synthesis of qinghaosu derivatives, and thereafter a series of more active and more oil- or water-soluble derivatives was developed. Subsequent studies of the structure/activity relationship led to the discovery of dihydroartemisinin, artemether and artesunate. Now qinghaosu and these three derivatives are being used around the world as effective new antimalarial drugs in the fight against falciparum malaria, including multi-drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum. At the present time new qinghaosu analogues or derivatives are being developed and studies of their structure/activity relationships, their antimalarial mechanisms, their interaction with ferrous ions and the DNA damage associated with these processes are being actively pursued. In addition, recent studies also indicate that some qinghaosu derivatives have other bioactivities, including antiparasitic (against Schistosoma japonicum, Toxoplasma gondii and so on) and anticancer activities. Research into qinghaosu and its derivatives has already produced and will no doubt continue to produce results of the utmost importance in the fight against malaria and other diseases.

For such cases, it is used fresh in a large dosage and mixed with water to produce a juice for oral use, or the dried drug is boiled into a decoction for oral administration. Now, some tablets and injections are made from the drug for convenience of clinical application. It is also used to cure pruritus due to heat in blood. Dosage and Preparation: 10-15 g. For malaria, it is 20-40 g. If used fresh, the dosage should be doubled. Decoct no longer than five minutes. Remarks: Herba Artemisiae Annuae is bitter and cold, and is fairly effective in purging deficiency and excess heat. It is aromatic, and so can also eliminate dampness and treat heat syndrome complicated by dampness. This drug has been used in the treatment of malaria since ancient times. Through recent scientific research, an antimalarial ingredient, artemisinine, has been extracted from this drug. It has been applied in several thousand cases of tertian malaria , malignant malaria, cerebral malaria and those patients with chloroquine tolerance. The results show that it is more effective than chloroquine and other antimalarial drugs, with the advantages of low toxicity and quick result.

Since iron influx is high in cancer cells, artemisinin and its analogs selectively kill cancer cells under conditions that increase intracellular iron concentrations. We report here that after incubation with holotransferrin, which increases the concentration of ferrous iron in cancer cells, dihydroartemisinin, an analog of artemisinin, effectively killed a type of radiation-resistant human breast cancer cell in vitro. The same treatment had considerably less effect on normal human breast cells. Since it is relatively easy to increase the iron content inside cancer cells in vivo, administration of artemisinin-like drugs and intracellular iron-enhancing compounds may be a simple, effective, and economical treatment for cancer. 7: Int J Oncol 2001 Apr;18(4):767-73 ; The anti-malarial artesunate is also active against cancer.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 Hi All, & Hi Walt Many thanks, Walt, for the note on Qinghao and cancer. There are indeed many reports on it. Through these lists, I learn that my herb notes need considerable beefing up!
