Product Description

Artemisia annua Extract

Botanical Source: Artemisia annua L.

Plant Part Used: Aerial parts

Specification: Ratio Extract; artemisinin

Artemisia annua, also known as sweet wormwood, sweet annie, sweet sagewort, annual mugwort or annual wormwood (pinyin:qīnghāo), is a common type of wormwood native to temperate Asia, but naturalized in many countries including scattered parts of North America.
 

Characteristics

Artemisia annua belongs to the plant family of Asteraceae and is an annual short-day plant. Its stem is erect brownish or violet brown. The plant itself is hairless and naturally grows from 30 to 100 cm tall. Although in cultivation it is possible, that plants reach a height of 200 cm. The leaves of A. annua have a length of 3-5 cm and are divided by deep cuts into two or three small leaflets. The intensive aromatic scent of the leaves is characteristic.The Artemisinin content in dried leaves is in between 0% and 1.5%. New hybrids of Artemisia annua developed in Switzerland can reach a leave artemisinin content of up to 2%. The small flowers have a diameter of 2-2.5 mm and are arranged in loose panicles. Their color is green-yellowish. The seeds are brown achenes with a diameter of only 0.6-0.8 milimeter. Their thousand-kernel weight (TKW) averages around 0.03 g (in comparison, wheat has a TKW of approximately 45 g).

Function: 
Artemisinin is the product extracted from the dry leaves of Artemsisia Annua (sweet wormwood). The plant needs to be harvested before the flowering starts since this decreases the content of Artemisinin. Artemisinin works by reacting with iron in the body and forming free radicals that attack the cells from within. Cancer cells replicate at a higher rate than normal cells and so have a higher concentration of iron. This makes artemisinin highly toxic to the cancer cells. The same mechanism is responsible for its anti-malarial properties. The parasite that causes malaria cannot eliminate the iron from the blood cells it eats and stores it. The artemisinin makes the stored iron poisonous to the parasite.
