Artemisinin 90 MHz - Case Study

Artemisinin
Artemisinin is a widely used drug in the standard treatment of malaria. It is extracted from the plant Artemisia annua, sweet wormwood, but can also be produced in a semi-synthetic fashion. Figure 1 shows the ¹H NMR spectrum of a 250 mM Artemisinin sample in CDCl₃ measured in a single scan taking 10 seconds to acquire.
