Description

Protopanaxatriol CAS NO 1453-93-6 is a key aglycone sapogenin derived from the hydrolysis of ginsenosides found in Panax ginseng. This compound is of significant interest for its role as a primary active metabolite and a critical intermediate in the synthesis of high-value ginsenosides. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced cosmetic industries who require high-purity botanical intermediates for drug discovery, formulation, and efficacy studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality control and quantification of ginseng extracts and related products.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient Synthesis: Serves as a crucial precursor in the semi-synthesis of rare and potent ginsenosides (e.g., Rg3, Rh2) for dietary supplements.
• Biomedical Research: Employed in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate its pharmacological activities, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects.
• Cosmeceutical Actives: Incorporated into advanced skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized in method development and validation for HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical techniques targeting triterpenoid compounds.
