Santonin Structure

Synonyms: Santonin, (3S,3aS,5aS,5bS,9S,9aS,9bS)-decahydro-3,5a,9-trimethyl-3,5b-epoxynaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2,8-dione, 1,6-Dimethyl-4,10-dioxatetracyclo[7.3.0.02,7.05,12]dodecane-3,11-dione, Santolactone, α-Santonin, Levant Wormseed Lactone

Santonin is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the flower heads of Artemisia maritima L. (family Asteraceae), commonly known as Levant wormseed. It is a crystalline, odorless compound that has been used for decades as a reference standard in pharmacopoeial testing and as an intermediate in organic synthesis.

As a B2B ingredient, Santonin is supplied primarily to pharmaceutical research laboratories, contract manufacturing organizations, and analytical testing facilities. Its well-defined structure and reliable purity make it a valuable building block for anthelmintic derivatives and a marker compound in botanical authentication.
