Possible Interaction: Artesunate and Ferrous Sulfate

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

A combined dose of ferrous sulfate and artesunate may prove to be a more potent therapy for targeting cancerous cells.
Co-administration of artesunate and ferrous sulfate resulted in a significant increase (P<0.05) in pore opening.
Results from this study show that co-administration of artesunate and ferrous sulfate can cause an opening in the mitochondrial membrane transition pore.
This study hypothesizes that co-administration of artesunate and ferrous sulfate could induce apoptosis which can be targeted on cancerous cells in such a manner, thus providing a novel, viable and perhaps inexpensive way of dealing with the cancer scourge.
