== Current availability==

Available

* In India – Cultivated and found mainly in southern states including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and parts of Andhra Pradesh.

* Out of India – Found in parts of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.

== Phytochemical Composition ==

The unique aromatic fragrance and broad therapeutic efficacy of ''Santalum album'' stem from its rich secondary metabolite spectrum found within the heartwood:

* '''Volatile Sesquiterpenes:''' Highly concentrated in essential oils, predominantly containing $\alpha$-santalol and $\beta$-santalol; ''cis''-$\alpha$-santalol is the major sesquiterpene alcohol, followed by ''cis''-$\beta$-santalol, with other compounds in lesser quantities.<ref name="Subasinghe2013"/>

* '''Polyphenolic Constituents:''' Phenolics, terpenoids, saponins and flavan-3-ols were the major constituents reported in an in vitro callus extract, indicating antioxidant potential (data are from callus culture, not heartwood).<ref name="MisraDey2012JPP"/>

== Pharmacological Activities & Therapeutic Efficacy ==

=== Anti-inflammatory Properties ===

Chandana is classically recognized as a premier coolant (*Dahaprashamana*) and has shown anti-inflammatory activity in experimental skin-cell models.

* '''Mechanism:''' Sandalwood oils and purified $\alpha$-santalol and $\beta$-santalol suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

* '''Scientific Evidence:''' In co-cultured human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, sandalwood oils and purified $\alpha$-santalol and $\beta$-santalol reduced cytokine/chemokine production (in vitro).<ref name="Sharma2014"/>

=== Anti-inflammatory Skin Disease (Eczema and Psoriasis) ===

In alignment with its traditional use in skin disorders, sandalwood oil has been studied in inflammatory skin disease.

* '''Mechanism:''' East Indian sandalwood oil suppressed phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity, PDE4 and PDE7 transcript levels and NF-$\kappa$B activation in stimulated human cell lines.

* '''Scientific Evidence:''' Treatment of a psoriasis model reduced PDE4 expression and reversed histopathology, and 75% of paediatric eczema/atopic dermatitis patients treated with topical sandalwood oil formulations achieved a >50% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score; the clinical data are early-stage and need confirmation in controlled trials.<ref name="Sharma2018"/>

=== Antibacterial Actions ===

In alignment with its traditional classification under *Kandughna* and *Varnya* Mahakashayas, ''Santalum album'' has been tested for antibacterial activity.

* '''Mechanism:''' Extracts are rich in terpenoids, saponins, phenolics and tannins, which are considered to contribute to the activity.

* '''Scientific Evidence:''' Extracts of callus, somatic embryo, seedlings and leaves screened against thirteen bacterial strains showed antibacterial activity; somatic embryo extract was strongest and comparable with sandalwood oil (in vitro; non-heartwood extracts).<ref name="MisraDey2012LAM"/>

=== Neuro-physiological (Relaxing) Effects ===

Traditional aromatherapy and topical applications are associated with soothing effects.

* '''Mechanism:''' Not established; the study reported autonomic (physiological) changes after absorption through the skin.

* '''Scientific Evidence:''' In a randomised study in healthy volunteers, transdermal $\alpha$-santalol caused physiological changes interpreted as relaxing/sedative, while sandalwood oil produced physiological deactivation with behavioural activation (inhalation was excluded by breathing masks).<ref name="Hongratanaworakit2004"/>

~~Available~~

=== Anti-hyperglycaemic and Antioxidant Effects ===

Relevant to the classical use of Chandana in *Prameha* (diabetes), as listed in the Charak Samhita table above.

* '''Mechanism:''' Modulation of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation was observed alongside improved glycaemic parameters.

* '''Scientific Evidence:''' In alloxan-induced diabetic mice, intraperitoneal $\alpha$-santalol (100 mg/kg) and sandalwood oil (1 g/kg) for one week brought blood glucose, body weight, liver glycogen and lipid peroxides towards normal; similar treatment in D-galactose-induced oxidative stress modulated liver enzymes, superoxide dismutase and catalase (animal data).<ref name="MisraDey2013"/>

== ~~Current researches~~ ==

=== Anticancer (Chemopreventive) Effects ===

* '''Mechanism:''' Induction of cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells is the most reported mechanism of $\alpha$-santalol.

* '''Scientific Evidence:''' Cell-line and animal studies report chemopreventive effects of sandalwood oil and $\alpha$-santalol in skin carcinogenesis in mice and in melanoma, non-melanoma, breast and prostate cancer models; no clinical efficacy has been demonstrated.<ref name="Santha2015"/>

~~https~~:/~~/cb~~.~~imsc.res~~.in/~~imppat~~/~~phytochemical/Santalum%20album~~

== Safety, Toxicity, and Dosage ==

* '''Toxicity Profile:''' Sandalwood oil and its major constituent have low acute oral and dermal toxicity in laboratory animals; available toxicity data are limited, and the oil is considered safe at present use levels.<ref name="Burdock2008"/>

* '''Precautions:''' Occasional irritation or sensitisation reactions to sandalwood oil have been reported in humans; concentrated essential oil should not be applied undiluted on skin.

* '''Standard Therapeutic Dosage:'''

** *Heartwood Powder (Churna):* 3–6 g, as per the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (see Dose above).

 == Current availability==
+Available
+* In India – Cultivated and found mainly in southern states including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and parts of Andhra Pradesh.
+* Out of India – Found in parts of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.
+== Phytochemical Composition ==
+The unique aromatic fragrance and broad therapeutic efficacy of ''Santalum album'' stem from its rich secondary metabolite spectrum found within the heartwood:
+* '''Volatile Sesquiterpenes:''' Highly concentrated in essential oils, predominantly containing $\alpha$-santalol and $\beta$-santalol; ''cis''-$\alpha$-santalol is the major sesquiterpene alcohol, followed by ''cis''-$\beta$-santalol, with other compounds in lesser quantities.<ref name="Subasinghe2013"/>
+* '''Polyphenolic Constituents:''' Phenolics, terpenoids, saponins and flavan-3-ols were the major constituents reported in an in vitro callus extract, indicating antioxidant potential (data are from callus culture, not heartwood).<ref name="MisraDey2012JPP"/>
+== Pharmacological Activities & Therapeutic Efficacy ==
+=== Anti-inflammatory Properties ===
+Chandana is classically recognized as a premier coolant (*Dahaprashamana*) and has shown anti-inflammatory activity in experimental skin-cell models.
+* '''Mechanism:''' Sandalwood oils and purified $\alpha$-santalol and $\beta$-santalol suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
+* '''Scientific Evidence:''' In co-cultured human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, sandalwood oils and purified $\alpha$-santalol and $\beta$-santalol reduced cytokine/chemokine production (in vitro).<ref name="Sharma2014"/>
+=== Anti-inflammatory Skin Disease (Eczema and Psoriasis) ===
+In alignment with its traditional use in skin disorders, sandalwood oil has been studied in inflammatory skin disease.
+* '''Mechanism:''' East Indian sandalwood oil suppressed phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity, PDE4 and PDE7 transcript levels and NF-$\kappa$B activation in stimulated human cell lines.
+* '''Scientific Evidence:''' Treatment of a psoriasis model reduced PDE4 expression and reversed histopathology, and 75% of paediatric eczema/atopic dermatitis patients treated with topical sandalwood oil formulations achieved a >50% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score; the clinical data are early-stage and need confirmation in controlled trials.<ref name="Sharma2018"/>
+=== Antibacterial Actions ===
+In alignment with its traditional classification under *Kandughna* and *Varnya* Mahakashayas, ''Santalum album'' has been tested for antibacterial activity.
+* '''Mechanism:''' Extracts are rich in terpenoids, saponins, phenolics and tannins, which are considered to contribute to the activity.
+* '''Scientific Evidence:''' Extracts of callus, somatic embryo, seedlings and leaves screened against thirteen bacterial strains showed antibacterial activity; somatic embryo extract was strongest and comparable with sandalwood oil (in vitro; non-heartwood extracts).<ref name="MisraDey2012LAM"/>
+=== Neuro-physiological (Relaxing) Effects ===
+Traditional aromatherapy and topical applications are associated with soothing effects.
+* '''Mechanism:''' Not established; the study reported autonomic (physiological) changes after absorption through the skin.
+* '''Scientific Evidence:''' In a randomised study in healthy volunteers, transdermal $\alpha$-santalol caused physiological changes interpreted as relaxing/sedative, while sandalwood oil produced physiological deactivation with behavioural activation (inhalation was excluded by breathing masks).<ref name="Hongratanaworakit2004"/>
-Available
+=== Anti-hyperglycaemic and Antioxidant Effects ===
+Relevant to the classical use of Chandana in *Prameha* (diabetes), as listed in the Charak Samhita table above.
+* '''Mechanism:''' Modulation of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation was observed alongside improved glycaemic parameters.
+* '''Scientific Evidence:''' In alloxan-induced diabetic mice, intraperitoneal $\alpha$-santalol (100 mg/kg) and sandalwood oil (1 g/kg) for one week brought blood glucose, body weight, liver glycogen and lipid peroxides towards normal; similar treatment in D-galactose-induced oxidative stress modulated liver enzymes, superoxide dismutase and catalase (animal data).<ref name="MisraDey2013"/>
-== Current researches ==
+=== Anticancer (Chemopreventive) Effects ===
+* '''Mechanism:''' Induction of cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells is the most reported mechanism of $\alpha$-santalol.
+* '''Scientific Evidence:''' Cell-line and animal studies report chemopreventive effects of sandalwood oil and $\alpha$-santalol in skin carcinogenesis in mice and in melanoma, non-melanoma, breast and prostate cancer models; no clinical efficacy has been demonstrated.<ref name="Santha2015"/>
-https://cb.imsc.res.in/imppat/phytochemical/Santalum%20album
+== Safety, Toxicity, and Dosage ==
+* '''Toxicity Profile:''' Sandalwood oil and its major constituent have low acute oral and dermal toxicity in laboratory animals; available toxicity data are limited, and the oil is considered safe at present use levels.<ref name="Burdock2008"/>
+* '''Precautions:''' Occasional irritation or sensitisation reactions to sandalwood oil have been reported in humans; concentrated essential oil should not be applied undiluted on skin.
+* '''Standard Therapeutic Dosage:'''
+** *Heartwood Powder (Churna):* 3–6 g, as per the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (see Dose above).
