• Description: Amorphadiene is a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, which is a naturally occurring organic compound produced through the mevalonate pathway in plants, particularly in Artemisia annua. It is derived from the enzymatic cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate, mediated by amorphadiene synthase. This compound plays a pivotal role as a precursor molecule in the biosynthesis of artemisinin, an effective antimalarial agent.
