Artemisinin-derived dimers have greatly improved anti-cytomegalovirus activity compared to artemisinin monomers.

Artemisinin-derived dimers have greatly improved anti-cytomegalovirus activity compared to artemisinin monomers.

Artesunate, an artemisinin-derived monomer, was reported to inhibit Cytomegalovirus (CMV) replication. We aimed to compare the in-vitro anti-CMV activity of several artemisinin-derived monomers and newly synthesized artemisinin dimers.Four artemisinin monomers and two novel artemisinin-derived dimer...
