Study proves effectiveness of Artemisia annua against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro

A multinational research group has been the first to show the excellent activity of artemisinin-based treatment against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in human cell lines – including a specific type of lung cells. Their findings were recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Notwithstanding the increasing availability of vaccines against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), we are still in need for effective and affordable treatments. There were many attempts to repurpose drugs that we already use for a myriad of different indications but to not much avail.

Artemisinin is one of many bioactive compounds present in the plant known as Artemisia annua, and is currently used as an active ingredient to treat malaria. Moreover, its derivates, artesunate, and artemether come with even better pharmacokinetic traits, which is why they are pervasively used in various anti-malaria combination treatments around the world.

Considering their excellent safety profiles in humans, as well as their potential for worldwide distribution at relatively low costs, artemisinin-based drugs appear to be an attractive repurposing drug candidate for COVID-19.

However, while an antiviral potential of artemisinin, its derivatives, and plant extracts have been demonstrated for several viral groups, it is still not clear whether they would actually be viable in the treatment of COVID-19 due to their elusive mechanisms of action.

This new study, led by Dr. Yuyong Zhou from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and Dr. Kerry Gilmore from the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Germany, aimed to appraise whether Artemisia annua extracts – but also pure artemisinin, artesunate and artemether – are active against SARS-CoV-2 in the laboratory conditions.
