Artemisinin and Dihydroartemisinin are potent antimalarial agents derived from Artemisia annua. Artemisinin (CAS 63968-64-9, C15H22O5) serves as the precursor for dihydroartemisinin (CAS 71942-80-6, C15H24O5), synthesized via catalytic hydrogenation. These compounds feature a unique peroxide bridge essential for biological activity.
Strictly regulated for human use; requires GMP compliance. Store below 25°C in dry, light-proof conditions to prevent peroxide degradation. Avoid direct skin contact during industrial handling.
