Present research on the antimalarial mechanisms of artemisinin (ART) is mainly focused on covalent drug binding targets alkylated by free radicals, while non-covalent binding targets have rarely been reported. Here, we developed a novel photoaffinity probe of ART to globally capture and identify the antimalarial target proteins of ART through chemical proteomics. The results demonstrated that ART can bind to parasite proteins by both covalent and non-covalent modification, and these may jointly contribute to the antimalarial effects. Our work enriches the research on the antimalarial targets of ART, and provides a new perspective for further exploring the antimalarial mechanism of ART.
