Common NameArteannuic acid
Description(+)-Artemisinic acid, also known as artemisate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Arteannuic acid is found in Artemisia annua and Solanum lycopersicum. Arteannuic acid was first documented in 1996 (PMID: 17252486). These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units (+)-artemisinic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 16612385) (PMID: 19194910) (PMID: 20050663) (PMID: 22396222).
