Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and is one of the most common leading causes of cancer related deaths. Chronic Schistosoma mansoni and HCV co-infection accelerates the progression of liver disease increasing incidence of early development of HCC. Anti-parasitic rule of artemisinin together with its anti-viral and antitumor effects make this drug a good target for investigation as a prophylaxis against HCC. Molecular Docking and Dynamics Simulation have improved the quality of healthcare studies through providing high quality predictions of in silicon effect of drugs. This review aims to discuss repositioning artemisinin as a prophylactic treatment against development of HCC in patients co infected with Schistosoma mansoni and HCV, pointing out the rule of Molecular docking and dynamics in predicting the rate of success of this drug.
