Common Nameartemisinin
DescriptionArtemisinin, also known as quing hau sau or arteannuin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as terpene lactones. These are prenol lipids containing a lactone ring. Thus, artemisinin is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. A sesquiterpene lactone obtained from sweet wormwood, Artemisia annua, which is used as an antimalarial for the treatment of multi-drug resistant strains of falciparum malaria. Artemisinin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. artemisinin is found in Apis cerana, Artemisia annua , Artemisia caerulescens, Artemisia carvifolia, Artemisia herba-alba, Artemisia lancea, Artemisia tenuisecta, Artemisia vallesiaca, Microliabum polymnioides and Tessaria integrifolia. artemisinin was first documented in 1995 (PMID: 7877142). In humans, artemisinin is involved in artemether metabolism pathway (PMID: 15330155) (PMID: 18008167) (PMID: 19090980) (PMID: 22174561) (PMID: 8544181).
