Therapeutic applications of artemisinin in ophthalmic diseases by Hao Sun, Ping Zhao, Lianghui Zhao, Zhizhong Zhao, Haoyu Chen, Cong Ren, Bin Guo

“…Recently, studies confirmed that artemisinin plays therapeutic roles in eye diseases through regulation of signaling pathways, such asNrf2/HO-1/Keap1, TLR/MyD88/NF-κb, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and FASN/Kmal-mTOR/SREBP1, and biological factors, such as protein kinase B, AMP-activated protein kinase, tumor necrosis factor alpha, nod-like receptor protein 3, vascular endothelial growth factor, malonyl-coenzyme A and cytochrome C. However, since ocular diseases are often caused by various factors, how artemisinin can play a good disease prevention role by modulating these factors needs to be further verified, and most of the current studies focus on in vitro and animal experiments, lacking sufficient information on clinical trial studies. …”
