Artemisinin is not a derivative of hydrocarbons
There are many types of hydrocarbons, flammable and explosive materials, the structure of the known hydrocarbons in more than 2000. The hydrocarbon is the parent of the organic compound, and the other various organic compounds can be regarded as derivatives of one or more hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule being replaced by atoms or radicals of other elements.
A hydrocarbon is an organic compound (called a hydrocarbon) composed of two elements, carbon and hydrogen, and a hydrocarbon. Can be simply divided into open chain hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons, all hydrocarbons are hydrophobic, that all the hydrocarbons are not soluble in water.
Artemisinin is a colorless needle-like crystal obtained from the compound inflorescences Artemisia annua L., which is (3R, 5aS, 6R, 8aS, 9R, 12S, 12aR ) - octahydro-3,6,9-trimethyl-3,12-oxo-12H-pyran [4,3-j] -1,2-benzodiazepine-10 (3H) -one. Molecular formula for the C15H22O5.
