General Description

4,5-Epoxyartemisinic acid is a chemical compound derived from artemisinin, a natural compound found in the sweet wormwood plant. It is a precursor in the biosynthesis of artemisinin, which is a well-known and potent antimalarial drug. 4,5-Epoxyartemisinic acid is a key intermediate in the semi-synthetic production of artemisinin and has potential as a starting material for the large-scale commercial synthesis of artemisinin. Research has focused on the development of microbial biosynthesis methods to produce 4,5-Epoxyartemisinic acid, aiming to enable the cost-effective and sustainable production of artemisinin to combat malaria. Additionally, 4,5-Epoxyartemisinic acid also shows promise as a building block for the synthesis of other valuable compounds with pharmaceutical or agricultural applications.
