Applying green chemistry to the photochemical route to artemisinin (2015)
Journal Article
Amara, Z., Bellamy, J., Horvath, R., Miller, S., Beeby, A., Burgard, A., …George, M. (2015). Applying green chemistry to the photochemical route to artemisinin. Nature Chemistry, 7(6), 489-495. https://doi.org/10.1038/nchem.2261

Artemisinin is an important antimalarial drug, but, at present, the environmental and economic costs of its semi-synthetic production are relatively high. Most of these costs lie in the final chemical steps, which follow a complex acid- and photo-cat... Read More about Applying green chemistry to the photochemical route to artemisinin.
