Scientists have found a way to boost the efficacy of the antimalarial drug artemesinin with the help of chemotherapy medicines. 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, which chemo can target.
