1,2-dihydrosantonin
+ NAD+
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are santonin, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and a proton. Its products are 1,2-dihydrosantonin and oxidised NAD+. The enzyme can also use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate as an alternative cofactor.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1,2-dihydrosantonin:NAD(P)+ 1,2-oxidoreductase.
