Description

Valtrate is a naturally occurring iridoid ester compound, recognized for its distinct biological activity profile. This high-purity standard is essential for research and development in the life sciences, where precise and reliable reference materials are critical. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, analytical laboratories, and manufacturers of botanical extracts and nutraceuticals seeking to validate product composition and potency.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, assay, and purity testing of valerian-based products and related formulations.
• Bioactivity Research: Used in preclinical studies to investigate its potential pharmacological properties, including sedative, anxiolytic, and cytotoxic effects.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as an external standard in chromatographic methods (HPLC, GC) for the quantitative analysis of valepotriates in complex botanical matrices.
• Nutraceutical Quality Control: Acts as a key marker compound for the standardization and quality assurance of commercial valerian root extracts and dietary supplements.
• Academic Research: Utilized in university and institutional labs for phytochemical studies, metabolic pathway research, and synthesis of novel derivatives.
