Plants and plant-derived natural products have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The lack of effective therapies in the modern world to address several diseases, the increasing development of drug resistance, and the growing interest in herbal medicine have led to the study and resurgence of natural ancient remedies. commonly known as sweet wormwood or sweet annie, is a medicinal plant widely known for its antimalarial properties. In the past decade, increasing evidence has demonstrated the plant's broad therapeutic potential, including antitumoral, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, metabolic, and immunomodulatory effects, among others. While most research has focused on human health, there is growing interest in exploring the veterinary applications of and its bioactive compounds, particularly artemisinin. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on the beneficial effects of , artemisinin, and other compounds in animal health. It also highlights the need for standardizing metabolites to ensure the reliability and efficacy of treatments and explores how artemisinin works in synergy with other molecules present in .
几个世纪以来，植物及其衍生的天然产物一直被用于传统医学。现代社会缺乏有效的疾病治疗方法、耐药性的不断发展以及对草药兴趣的日益增加，导致了对古老天然疗法的研究和复兴。青蒿，俗称甜艾或青蒿，是一种以抗疟特性而广为人知的药用植物。在过去十年中，越来越多的证据表明该植物具有广泛的治疗潜力，包括抗肿瘤、抗菌、抗寄生虫、代谢和免疫调节等作用。虽然大多数研究集中在人类健康方面，但人们对探索青蒿及其生物活性化合物，特别是青蒿素在兽医领域的应用兴趣日益浓厚。这篇综述旨在总结目前关于青蒿、青蒿素和其他化合物对动物健康有益作用的知识。它还强调了标准化青蒿代谢物以确保治疗的可靠性和有效性的必要性，并探讨了青蒿素如何与青蒿中存在的其他分子协同作用。
