Description

Hydroxyvalerenicacid CAS NO 101628-22-2 is a specialized sesquiterpenoid compound derived from the valerian plant (Valeriana officinalis). This high-purity intermediate is valued for its role in the research and development of bioactive molecules targeting neurological and stress-related pathways. It is primarily sought by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, nutraceutical formulators, and advanced chemical synthesis facilities for its potential in creating novel therapeutic agents and high-value fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of novel anxiolytic and sedative drug candidates.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Research: Used in the development and standardization of valerian-based natural health products for sleep and relaxation support.
• Reference Standard: Serves as an analytical standard for quality control and quantification of valerenic acid derivatives in plant extracts and finished products.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in pharmacological studies to investigate mechanisms of action on GABA receptors and related neurological targets.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a chiral building block for the preparation of more complex sesquiterpenoid structures.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Investigated for potential use in topical formulations aimed at skin soothing and anti-inflammatory effects.

Quality Control

Our Hydroxyvalerenicacid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation via IR and NMR, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
