Abstract
A series of 14-substituted-artemisinin and 9-epiartemisinin derivatives was prepared by a titanium-tetrachloride catalyzed addition of trimethylsilyl enol ethers to artemisitene. Several compounds were four to seven times mor e active than artemisinin against Plasmodium falciparum. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
