Cardiff researchers have developed a new process for the production of "very effective" fight against the disease compounds including a key malaria drug.

Sesquiterpenes can in spicy foods, plants and beer, and used to be found to combat colds, cancer and malaria.

A team from the University of Cardiff, said he faster and cheaper than before were able to synthesize.

Professor Rudolf Allemann said it "an important new development" was in synthetic chemistry.

The process allows the team almost double the performance of the normal production of a compound used to make artemisinin - the anti-malarial drug, for the Nobel Prize in 2015 was awarded that are not widely used in some parts of the world.
