Recently, artemisinin and derivatives have been revealed to possess encouraging antitumor activity. Herein, we integrated the antitumor advantages of artesunate and platinum drugs to construct novel Pt IV −artesunate dual-action and tripleaction complexes. Most derivatives, especially 10f, displayed broadspectrum and potent in vitro antitumor activities against a number of cancer cell lines. Compound 10f displayed potent antimetastasis and anticlonogenic activities, efficiently induced autophagic cell death and apoptosis, and arrested the cell cycle at both S and G2/M phases. More importantly, it displayed remarkable in vivo antitumor efficacy in the A549 xenograft model (TGI = 53.4%; 6 μmol/kg) with low toxicity. In addition to the antitumor application, 10f showed potent in vivo antimalarial activity in malarial-infected mice model and obviously alleviated malarial-related multiorgan injury. This conjugation greatly improved safety, especially reducing the platinum drugs' nephrotoxicity. Taken together, this study highlighted the therapeutic potential of Pt IV −artesunate complexes as antitumor and antimalarial agents.
