Ferrous ion induced cleavage of the peroxy bond in qinghaosu and its derivatives and the DNA damage associated with this process

Abstract

In the presence of iron(II) the peroxy bridge of the drug quinghaosu and its derivatives and cleaved to give two rearrangement products; DNA damage due to this free radical process is observed an may be responsible for the antimalarial activity of these compounds.
