Description

Phytolaccin is a natural saponin glycoside derived from the Phytolacca americana (pokeweed) plant. This bioactive compound is valued for its role as a key reference standard and active ingredient in research and development. It serves critical functions in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science sectors. Industries utilize it for analytical testing, formulation studies, and investigating its inherent biological properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the identification, purity assessment, and quantification of saponin content in drug substances and herbal preparations via analytical techniques like HPLC.
• Herbal Medicine & Nutraceuticals: Serves as a marker compound for the standardization and quality control of Phytolacca-based extracts in dietary supplements and traditional remedies.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in laboratory studies to investigate the biological activities, mechanisms of action, and pharmacokinetics of triterpenoid saponins.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into formulations for its potential bioactive properties, requiring high-purity grades for safety and efficacy.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Essential for universities and research institutes conducting phytochemical analysis, natural product chemistry, and pharmacological screening.

Quality Control

Our Phytolaccin is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic profiles (HPLC, TLC). Specifications are aligned with the requirements for reference standards and high-grade raw materials used in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
