Artemisinin is an organic compound with a molecular formula of C15H22O5 and a relative molecular mass of 282.34.
Artemisinin is a colorless needle-like crystal with a melting point of 156-157 ºC. It is easily soluble in,and benzene, soluble in ethanol, ether, slightly soluble in cold, and almost insoluble in water. Because of its special peroxide group, it is unstable to heat and is easily decomposed under the influence of moisture, heat and reducing substances.

Combination therapy with artemisinin-based drugs is also the most effective and most important method for the treatment of malaria. However, with the deepening of research in recent years, more and more other effects of artemisinin have been discovered and applied in research, such as anti-tumor, treatment of pulmonary hypertension, anti-diabetic, embryotoxicity, anti-fungal, immunomodulation, and anti-viral [2- 4], anti-inflammatory, anti-pulmonary fibrosis, antibacterial, cardiovascular effects and other pharmacological effects.
When it comes to artemisinin, people first think of its anti-malarial function. The WHO believes that artemisinin is the most effective drug for the treatment of malaria resistance. Combination therapy with artemisinin-based drugs is also the current treatment for malaria. The most effective and most important means. However, with the deepening of research in recent years, more and more other effects of artemisinin have been discovered and applied in research, such as anti-tumor, treatment of pulmonary hypertension, anti-diabetic, embryotoxicity, anti-fungal, immune regulation, etc.
