Also known as artenimol, dihydroqinghaosu, (3R,5aS,6R,8aS,9R,12R,12aR)-3,6,9-trimethyldecahydro-3,12-epoxypyrano[4,3-j][1,2]benzodioxepin-10-ol
Dihydroartemisinin (also known as dihydroqinghaosu, artenimol or DHA) is a drug used to treat malaria. Dihydroartemisinin is the active metabolite of all artemisinin compounds (artemisinin, artesunate, artemether, etc.) and is also available as a drug in itself. It is a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin and is widely used as an intermediate in the preparation of other artemisinin-derived antimalarial drugs. It is sold commercially in combination with piperaquine and has been shown to be equivalent to artemether/lumefantrine.
