Abstract
Artemisinin (qinghaosu), a sesquiterpene lactone containing a peroxide bridge, is the known antimalarial constituent of the herb Artemisia annua L. An electrochemical HPLC detection procedure has been developed that provides a sensitive, selective, and rapid assay for artemisinin in crude plant extracts.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
