Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	NF-κB
In vitro	Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) inhibits the growth of certain cancer cell lines and xenograft tumors such as leukemia, glioma, fibrosarcoma, and breast, cervical, ovarian, lung, oral and pancreatic cancer. It inhibits cell and tumor growth by modulating various tumor-suppressive pathways, such as inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis through regulation of proliferation- and apoptosis-related proteins.This compound inhibits the proliferation and viability of cells in a dose-dependent manner and induces apoptosis.Its mediated cytotoxicity is tumor selective. The endoperoxide bridge of DHA is reportedly essential for its cytotoxicity because it reacts with intracellular ferrous iron to generate reactive oxygen species or carbon-centered radicals, leading to cytotoxicity.
In vivo	DHA (Dihydroartemisinin) significantly inhibited HCC cell growth in vitro and in vivo via inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In the rat whole embryo culture (WEC), this compound has been shown to primarily affect primitive red blood cells (RBCs) causing subsequent tissue damage and dysmorphogenesis.
