A Detailed Chronological Record of Project 523 and theDiscovery and Development of Qinghaosu (Artemisinin)

by Zhang Jianfang


This is an account of a project in China carriedout in secrecy from the Chinese people and the Western World during thetumultuous years of the Cultural Revolution. Project 523, as it was called,resulted in one of the most significant advances in the treatment of malariasince the discovery and first use of quinine over 300 years ago.

The origin of the project was a request from theNorth Vietnamese Government to Mao Zedong in China, for assistance in managingchloroquine drug-resistant malaria affecting their military forces during theVietnam-American war.

Initially the project was directed by the Chinesemilitary medical research authorities, but it became so large that civilian scientistswere called upon to help. Ultimately, to accomplish this task, over 60institutions and more than 500 scientists and other personnel scatteredthroughout mainland Chinabecame involved.

This achievement is all the more remarkable becauseit was accomplished during the Cultural Revolution using obsolete equipment,and at a time when all regular research was halted, scientists were harassedand denigrated, and academic and intellectual activity was discouraged or evenforbidden.

The drug discovered – artemisinin from the plantQinghao (Artemisia annua L) – is now the most widely used treatment for malariain the world.
