Artemisinin
Lastly a feel good story about Tu You You, a Chinese scientist who isolated the compound Artemisinin derived from Wormwood and developed anti-malarial drugs which saved millions of lives!
Tu You You turned to Chinese medical texts from the Zhou, Qing, and Han Dynasties to find a traditional cure for malaria, ultimately extracting a compound – artemisinin – that has saved millions of lives.
She is the first mainland Chinese scientist to have received a Nobel Prize in a scientific category, and she did so without a doctorate or a medical degree.
She was tasked to find a treatment for malaria which ravaged North Vietnams forces by Chairman Mao, founder of the Peoples Republic of China. She scoured traditional Chinese textbooks to find a reference to sweet wormwood, a medicinal plant, used in China around 400 AD to treat “intermittent fevers,” a symptom of malaria.
In 1971, Tu’s team isolated one active compound in wormwood that seemed to battle malaria-friendly parasites, Artemisinins. The following year, Tu's team distilled the compound’s active ingredient, artemisinin, and shared their findings.
It took two decades, but finally the WHO recommended artemisinin combination therapy as the first line of defence against malaria. The Lasker Foundation, which awarded Tu its Clinical Medical Research Award in 2011, called the discovery of artemisinin “arguably the most important pharmaceutical intervention in the last half-century”.
Thanks Tu You You!
All the best,
Adam
