Artemisinin is a novel sesquiterpene endoperoxide with a potent antimalarial activity. Structure-activity studies have shown that the 1,2,4-trioxane nucleus is essential for the biological activity. Currently working on the preparation of 1,2, 4-trioxane systems by irradiation of available materials in the presence of oxygen.
