Artemisinin (Qinghaosu, 1) and many of its derivatives, which contain a unique 1,2,4-trioxane unit, exhibit highly potent activities against multidrug-resistant malaria. In order to further understand their biological mechanisms and to identify their target proteins, a biotinylated derivative of artemisinin was synthesized, using a peptide-bond as the linkage between artemisinin and D-biotin.

Key words: artemisinin, biotinylated derivative, synthesis, target protein
