title: [Research advance in antitumor activities of artemisinin and its derivatives].
abstract: Artemisinin and its derivatives are highly effective in fighting against malaria. Notably, these drugs have shown potent anti-timor activities by arresting cellular growth, enhancing apoptosis, inhibiting angiogenesis, and regulating the expression of tumor-associated genes, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
