(−)-α-Santonin (CAS 481-06-1)
QUICK LINKS
(−)-α-Santonin is a compound that functions as a potent anthelmintic agent, targeting parasitic worms. Its mechanism of action involves disrupting the nervous system of the parasites, leading to paralysis and subsequent expulsion from the host organism. (−)-Å-Santonin exerts its effects by binding to and activating specific receptors in the parasites, ultimately causing neuromuscular blockade. This mechanism interferes with the parasites′ ability to maintain normal muscle function, leading to their immobilization and eventual elimination from the host. (−)-α-Santonin′s activity at the molecular level involves modulation of neurotransmitter release and inhibition of neuromuscular transmission in the targeted parasites. (−)-Å-Santonin′s specific interactions with the nervous system of the parasites make it useful for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying anthelmintic activity.
