Malaria therapy; ups and downs, how much longer?

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde

Abstract

The natural products quinine and artemisinine have been effective antimalarials for centuries. Most synthetic antimalarials were developed because of pressure of war; against all some degree of resistance has developed. The newer drugs are too expensive for large-scale use. Development of new antimalarials is financially too risky for the pharmaceutical industry. Co-operation among industries, research institutes, governments and international organizations is coming off the ground. Dutch researchers should contribute to international malaria research for humanitarian reasons and out of self-interest, for the benefit of public health.
