Artemisia annua extract artemisinin
Product Introduction
Artemisia annua extract artemisinin is a high-purity natural sesquiterpene lactone active monomer extracted and refined from Artemisia annua L. (sweet wormwood) leaves, a traditional medicinal plant with a planting history of thousands of years. It is a raw material endorsed by WHO for artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs).
The raw material is sourced from our own cultivation bases near Xi'an, Shaanxi, China; this product consists of the dried aerial parts of high-quality *Artemisia annua* L., verified by HPLC fingerprinting to ensure botanical purity. Our proximity to the industrial production hub allows us to offer highly competitive pricing.
We provide industrial/pharmaceutical dual-grade artemisinin with mainstream specifications, 98% HPLC purity. The product is a white crystalline powder with fine needle-like crystal morphology, uniform color, no agglomeration, no peculiar smell, and superior powder fluidity, which is convenient for industrial batching, dissolution, and formula processing.
Product strength
Chemical Stability & Batch Consistency
Adopting low-temperature extraction technology, the molecular structure of artemisinin (1,2,4-trioxane endoperoxide bridge) is completely preserved, avoiding molecular damage and active ingredient degradation caused by high-temperature extraction.
Low Impurity & High Safety Industrial Grade
Through multi-stage recrystallization and membrane filtration purification, the content of heterologous impurities, solvent residues and heavy metals is far lower than the industry standard. Ultra-low microbial and heavy metal indicators make it compatible with pharmaceutical API production, high-end cosmetics and food-grade health products, avoiding finished product safety risks and qualification inspection failures caused by raw material impurity excess.
Industrial Formulation Adaptability
The product has fine, uniform crystal powder, good fluidity and dispersibility, and no agglomeration after long-term storage. It has stable solubility in ethanol and organic solvents, fast dissolution speed and uniform dispersion, which greatly improves production efficiency in industrial batching, reaction and formula synthesis.
High Biological Activity & Industrial Efficacy Stability
High-purity artemisinin retains complete pharmacological active structure, with strong and stable anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant activity. Its iron-catalyzed free radical activation mechanism is fully effective, and the efficacy attenuation rate is less than 3% within the shelf life, ensuring consistent efficacy of downstream industrial products and reducing product scrap rate.
Green & Environmentally Friendly Industrial Production
The whole production process is solvent-free, residual, green and environmentally friendly. No harmful substances are produced in the processing process, which is convenient for customers to pass environmental protection audits and product export certification, supporting global industrial trade and large-scale factory procurement.

FAQ
Q: What industrial scenarios are 98% and 99% specifications suitable for respectively?
A:98% high-purity grade is suitable for mass industrial production of cosmetics, health supplements and conventional biological products, with high cost performance and stable efficacy; 99% ultra-high-purity grade is specially used for pharmaceutical API production, high-precision scientific research experiments and fine chemical derivative synthesis, meeting higher industrial quality standards.
Q: Is your artemisinin soluble in water? What are the industrial formulation requirements?
A:Our high-purity artemisinin powder is alcohol-soluble, slightly oil-soluble and insoluble in water. In industrial formulation, it is recommended to dissolve with ethanol first and then mix with the formula system. We can provide targeted dissolution and formula process guidance according to customers’ production equipment and formula system .
Q: Can artemisinin extract be taken orally directly?
A: This product is an industrial-grade raw material and is not intended for direct consumption as food or medicine. It requires further processing (e.g., coating or microencapsulation) for use in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals or health supplements.
Q: How can the issue of poor solubility be addressed?
A: Artemisinin has poor water solubility (<0.1 mg/mL); the use of ethanol, DMSO, or PEG400 as a solvent is recommended. We also offer water-soluble derivatives (such as sodium artesunate) or nano-emulsification solutions.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: The MOQ for standard products is 1 kg.
Q: Do you provide test reports for residual solvents?
A: Yes. A GC-FID test report is provided for every batch, confirming residual levels of ≤500 ppm for ethanol and ≤100 ppm for acetone, in compliance with ICH Q3C R8 standards.
Q: Is storage at -20°C mandatory?
A: Storage at -20°C, protected from light, is recommended to maintain long-term stability. Short-term storage (<30 days) at 4°C is permissible, but repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided.
