“Buthionine sulphoximine, an inhibitor of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, significantly increased the neurotoxic effect of non-toxic concentrations of artemether/haemin (0.1 microM/2 microM) and dihydroartemisinin (0.2 microM), suggesting that endogenous glutathione participates in the prevention of the neurotoxicity of artemether/haemin and dihydroartemisinin.”
