A series of novel artemisinin ester derivatives were designed and synthesized for targeting mitochondria. Cytotoxicity against SMMC-7721, HepG2, OVCAR3, A549 and J82 cancer cell lines was evaluated. Compound 2c (IC50 = 3.0 μM) was the most potent anti-proliferative molecule against the OVCAR3 cells with low cytotoxicity in normal HUVEC cells. The mechanism of action of compound 2c was further investigated by analyzing cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and intracellular ROS generation. The results indicated that co
