Product Information
| Description: | Dihydroartemisinin, a derivative of artemisinin in which the C-10 lactone group is replaced by hemiacetals and active metabolites of all artemisinin compounds, is a widely used antimalarial compound that effectively induces iron death in acute myeloid leukemia cells (HL60, KG1, and THP-1) by regulating iron metabolism. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
