Abstract: The fungus Beauveria sulfurescens has been employed to introduce hydroxyl groups into artemisinin and derivatives of artemisinin, an antimalarial. Hydroxylated derivatives of artemisinin and derivatives of artemisinin produced thereby possess antimalarial activity, and can serve as intermediates in the synthesis of further derivatives useful in treating malaria.
