(-)-Santonin（Cat No.:R025528）is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactone derived from plants in the Artemisia genus. Historically, it was used as an anthelmintic agent to treat parasitic worm infections, particularly roundworms. It works by disrupting the nervous system of worms, leading to paralysis and expulsion. Although its use has diminished due to the availability of safer and more effective treatments, (-)-Santonin remains of interest in pharmaceutical research for its potential bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. It is also studied as a precursor for synthesizing various organic compounds.
