Description

Aloin CAS NO 1415-73-2 is a natural anthraquinone glycoside primarily extracted from the Aloe vera plant. This compound is valued for its significant biological activity, serving as a key marker for the standardization and quality control of aloe-based products. It is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking reliable, high-purity botanical reference standards and active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a primary chemical reference standard for the identification and assay of aloe in pharmacopeial monographs (e.g., USP, EP).
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Employed as a bioactive marker to standardize and ensure the potency and authenticity of aloe vera extracts in health supplements.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into formulations for skin care products, leveraging its traditional use in aloe-based creams, gels, and lotions.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a crucial reagent in pharmacological and biochemical studies investigating its purgative, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer properties.
• Quality Control & Analytical Testing: Utilized by quality assurance laboratories for HPLC, TLC, and other analytical methods to verify the content and purity of commercial aloe products.
• Botanical Extract Standardization: Acts as a calibration standard for manufacturers to guarantee consistent levels of active constituents in bulk aloe extracts.
