Abstract
A simple, sensitive, and rapid chemiluminescence method was developed for the detection
and quantification of selected derivatives of artemisinin. It was found that the
chemiluminescence (CL) signal resulting from the alkaline luminol reaction of the
artemisinin derivatives in the presence of hematin was linear over a wide concentration
range. We report results that suggest that a visual test or a test involving digital image
capture may be used in addition to a field-ready instrumental approach to combat drug
counterfeiting of malarial therapies.
