RESUMO
Artemisia absynthium L. is a commonly used medicinal plant for parasitic diseases all over the world. By means of high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection and the PU6100 solvent optimization system, two sesquiterpene lactones, alpha-santonin and ketopelenolid-A, were tentatively identified in methanolic extracts of this plant. alpha-Santonin is a well known antiparasitic compound and could be one of the active principles of this plant species. Reconstructed spectra are potentially useful in scanning a complex chromatogram for pharmacologically active compounds.
