Scientists find way to boost efficacy of powerful antimalarial drug with anti-cancer medicines

Scientists have found a way to boost the efficacy of the world's most powerful antimalarial drug with the help of chemotherapy medicines, according to new research published in the journal Nature Communications.

Scientists from the University of Melbourne and the Japanese pharmaceutical company Takeda have discovered that antimalarial drug artemisinin works through a "double whammy" attack on the deadly parasite.

The drug damages proteins in malaria parasites and clogs the parasite's waste disposal system, known as the proteasome.
