Common Namesantonin
DescriptionAlpha-santonin, also known as α-santonin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as eudesmanolides, secoeudesmanolides, and derivatives. These are terpenoids with a structure based on the eudesmanolide (a 3,5a,9-trimethyl-naphtho[1,2-b]furan-2-one derivative) or secoeudesmanolide (a 3,6-dimethyl-5-(pentan-2-yl)-1-benzofuran-2-one derivative) skeleton. Thus, alpha-santonin is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. santonin is found in Anacyclus monanthos, Artemisia caerulescens, Artemisia campestris, Artemisia diffusa, Artemisia fragrans, Artemisia herba-alba, Artemisia ifranensis, Artemisia inculta, Artemisia maritima, Artemisia nitrosa, Artemisia pauciflora, Artemisia schrenkiana, Artemisia sericea, Artemisia spicigera, Artemisia tenuisecta and Fossombronia pusilla. santonin was first documented in 1990 (PMID: 2185125). Alpha-santonin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 11098821) (PMID: 15241928).
