Dihydroartemisinic acid(CAT: M024016) is a crucial intermediate in the biosynthesis of artemisinin, a potent antimalarial compound derived from the Artemisia annua plant. Its mode of action involves enzymatic conversion into artemisinin, a process critical for the plant’s antimalarial properties. Pharmacologically, dihydroartemisinic acid’s significance lies in its role as a precursor molecule, contributing to the synthesis of artemisinin-based drugs used in the treatment of malaria.
