?Artemisinin (CAS NO.63968-64-9) is also called (+)-Arteannuin ; Qinghaosu? and [3R-(3R,5aS,6S,8aS,9R,10R,12S,12aR**)]-Decahydro-3,6,9-trimethyl-3,12-epoxy-12H-pyrano[4,3-j]-1,2-benzodioxepin-10-one? . |
| HS Code: | 29322985 |
| Biological Activity: | Antimalarial agent; interacts with heme to produce carbon-centred free radicals, causes protein alkylation and damages parasite microorganelles and membranes. Also selectively inhibits the P-type ATPase (PfATP6) of Plasmodium falciparum (K i ~ 150 nM). Displays antiangiogenic effects in mouse embryonic stem cell-derived embryoid bodies. |
| Storage Temperature: | Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. |
| Usage: | Active antimalarial constituent of the tradional Chinese medicinal herb Artemisia annua L., Compositae, which has been known for almost 2000 years as Qinghao. Antimalarial |
