Liu Xu (Chinese: 刘旭; 29 September 1938 – 5 September 2019) was a Chinese pharmaceutical chemist known for the discovery of artesunate, a novel antimalarial drug. The discovery of artesunate solves the problem that artemisinin is nearly insoluble in water. Artesunate can be given by intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, by mouth, and by rectum. For his work, Liu received the 1989 state award for inventions and the 2002 State Science and Technology Progress Award. (en) 刘旭（1938年9月29日－2019年9月5日），江苏如东人，中国药学家，教授级高级工程师，中国共产党党员，抗疟药青蒿琥酯的发明者。青蒿琥酯的发现解决了青蒿素的水溶性问题，治疟疗效比青蒿素提高了3倍至7倍，且可制成水溶性制剂，静脉注射可用于抢救凶险型重症疟疾。注射用青蒿琥酯全球销量累计已突破1亿支，帮助全球2000多万重症疟疾患者重获健康。其中大部分是5岁以下非洲儿童。 (zh) |
