Artemisinin Introduction
Artemisinin (Artemisia Extract) is refined active ingredients from dried herb Artemisia annua Linn. after extraction, Dewaxing, Chromatography, and purification process, content of artemisinin is 99.00% above on anhydrous basis. Artemisinin is a colorless acicular crystal with a melting point of 156 ~ 157℃. It is easily soluble in chloroform, acetone, ethyl acetate and benzene, soluble in ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in cold petroleum ether, and almost insoluble in water. Artemisinin is the most effective drug for treating malaria resistance so far.Mainly Specifications of Artemisinin Derivatives
