Inhibition of in vitro development of Plasmodium falciparum by supernatants released from media incubated with artemisone solid polymers containing 2 mg artemisone. Samples were collected during 13 days from media incubated with solid polymers containing two mg artemisone (inserts 3–5). *Supernatant dilution. The initial parasitemia was 1.5% and final parasitaemia 8.5% at the end of the experiment two days later. Fluorescence reading for the control culture was 40,500 relative luminescence units (RLU). Solid polymers containing artemisone released significant amounts of artemisone, at least until day 10 in culture
