Abstract

Artesunate is a very effective drug to treat malaria. They are studied experimentally by Terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS), and the characteristic absorption spectra are obtained in the range of 0.2 to 2.6 THz. The vibrational frequencies are calculated using the density functional theory (DFT). Theoretical results show that 0.71, 1.94 and 2.46 THz are significant agreement with the experimental results in 0.87, 1.82 and 2.46THz, and identification of vibrational modes are given. The calculated results further confirm that the characteristic frequencies come from the collective vibrational modes. The results suggest that the use of the THz-TDS technique can be an effective way to inspect for Chinese medicine.
