Making artemisinin
Open accessAbstract
The possibilities for the production of the antimalarial artemisinin by biological and chemical means are explored. These include native biosynthesis, genetic modification of Artemisia annua and other plants, engineering of microbes, total and partial chemical synthesis and combinations of the above.

In the citing paper
“Instead, the chemistry of undifferentiated callus and suspension cultures of A. annua seems to be dominated by sterols, such as stigmasterol (570) and sitosterol (568) (Section 2.7.2) [86,313]; as well as phenylpropanoids, such as scopoletin (184) (Section 2.3; Table 17), all of which are also found in significant quantities in the parent plants [86,313].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
