Dihydroartemisinin (Cat.No:I004684) is a semisynthetic derivative of artemisinin, a compound derived from the Chinese herb Artemisia annua. It is a potent antimalarial drug used in the treatment of malaria. Dihydroartemisinin works by inducing oxidative stress in the malaria parasite, effectively killing it. It is a key component in artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) recommended by the World Health Organization.
