Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name ARTEMISINIC ACID.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Artemisinic Acid

(+)-artemisinic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is prop-2-enoic acid which is substituted at position 2 by a 4,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydronaphthalen-1-yl group (the 1S,4R,4aS,8aR diastereoisomer). It is a sesquiterpenoid precursor of artemisinin, obtained from sweet wormwood, Artemisia annua. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a member of octahydronaphthalenes, a monocarboxylic acid, a sesquiterpenoid and a carbobicyclic compound. It is functionally related to a (+)-artemisinic alcohol. It is a conjugate acid of a (+)-artemisinate. — ChEBI
