Description

Arteannuin N CAS NO 207446-92-2 is a high-purity sesquiterpene lactone compound, a key intermediate and reference standard derived from *Artemisia annua* L. (sweet wormwood). This compound is of significant interest for its role in the biosynthesis and research of artemisinin-related compounds, which are critical in modern antimalarial therapies. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, fine chemical manufacturers, and academic institutions engaged in phytochemistry, drug discovery, and analytical method development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, assay, and purity testing of artemisinin derivatives in drug substances and finished products.
• Biosynthetic Pathway Research: A crucial intermediate for studying the metabolic pathways and enzymatic processes involved in artemisinin production.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Used as a high-value building block or precursor in the semi-synthesis of novel artemisinin analogs and derivatives with potential therapeutic applications.
• Analytical Method Development: Employed in HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex botanical extracts.
• Phytochemical & Natural Product Research: Essential for the isolation, characterization, and biological activity screening of compounds from *Artemisia* species.
• Quality Control in Herbal Extracts: Acts as a marker compound to standardize and authenticate sweet wormwood extracts intended for research or nutraceutical use.
