Overview

F98458 is a trifluoromethylated artemisinin dimer (AD) developed by Pierre Fabre in collaboration with the CNRS. It is a non-symmetrical C10-C16 dimer that exhibits potent anti-cancer activity. Preclinical studies in human melanoma xenograft models demonstrated that F98458 possesses significant in vivo anti-tumor properties. Its mechanism of action appears distinct from monomeric artemisinin derivatives like artesunate; while artesunate induces DNA damage and reactive oxygen species (ROS), F98458 does not. Furthermore, F98458 does not trigger classical apoptosis (caspase 3/7 or annexin V) but instead appears to induce cell death through pathways related to senescence and autophagy.
