Santonin, a sesquiterpene lactone characteristic of many species of the gen
us Artemisia, has hitherto been quantitatively determined by long and compl
icated gravimetric procedures. A new, rapid, simple and accurate extraction
and analytical procedure has been established. This high-performance liqui
d chromatographic method employs a Licrospher 100-RP column and a mobile ph
ase consisting of acetonitrile:water in a gradient programme. (C) 1998 John
