Sell Arteannuin

Description

Artemisinin acts as a blood schizontocide and therefore kills malaria parasites.Artemisinin is the product extracted from the dry leaves of Artemsisia Annua (sweet wormwood). This plant has to be grown each year stating from seeds. The plant is peculiar in its behaviour. Nicely grown-up plants may be devoid of Artemisinin. In order that this product is synthetised by the plant special agricultural and climatological conditions must be respected. The plant can grow in many places but it may not contain ***** example: Visitors of the ancient palaces in the Forbidden City in Beijing can find nice artemisia annua plants pushing left and right as weeds, but these plants do not contain artemisinin.Best results have been obtained in plantations (North Vietnam, mainly in the vicinity of Hanoi) or in wild plants (the plants collected from the steep hills around You Yang in the Chongqing province in China where the best plant grows at altitudes above ***0 m).?The highest yields per ton dry leaves comes from cultures in Tanzania.How it kill malaria?Today this wormwood extract is used in Asia and Africa to successfully treat malaria. Its mechanism is well-known: artemisinin reacts with a high concentration of iron (ferrous compounds) - which is exactly what is found in the malaria parasite. When artemisinin comes into contact with high iron concentrations, a chemical reaction is produced which creates free radicals that attack cell membranes, breaking them apart and killing the single-cell parasite.Artemisinin has been shown to work through oxygen and carbon based free radical mechanisms. Its structure includes an endoperoxide bridge. Peroxides generate free radicals in a Fenton type reaction when exposed to unbound ferrous iron. Malaria, which grows in the erythrocytes, has the opportunity to accumulate much excess iron which can spill into the unbound form. Electron microscopy has confirmed destruction of plasmodium membranes with morphology typical of free radical
