Regulatory evidence across markets

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

Dihydroartemisinic acid

Dihydroartemisinic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid substituted at position 2 by a (1S,4R,4aS,8aR)-4,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydronaphthalen-1-yl group. It is a sesquiterpenoid precursor of the antimalarial drug, artemisinin. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a member of octahydronaphthalenes, a monocarboxylic acid, a sesquiterpenoid and a carbobicyclic compound. It is a conjugate acid of a dihydroartemisinate. — ChEBI
