Abstract: The effect of sodium artesunate on Plasmodium yoelii-infected mouse erythrocytes was analysed by flow cytometry.The results showed that malarial DNA content in experimental group was obviously decreased 2-5 hours after the drug was administered,fluorescence distribution of malarial DNA almost disappeared within 24 hours after the administration.Thus we deem that sodium artesunate can inhibit the DNA synthessis in P.yoelii.
