Natural products are an important source for drug discovery. At present there is a resurgent interest in pharmacognosy as a platform for new combinations of active principles to provide highly potent and low-cost medications to treat a growing population with an increasing longevity. This product studied phytochemical interactions in Artemisia annua plant extracts using anti-plasmodium and anti-proliferation assays to identify interactions with potential therapeutic implications. To enable the study a rapid tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (TQD) method was developed for metabolites in the plant and the validation indices showed the method to be robust, quick, sensitive and adequate for a range of applications.
