Description

Kahweol Stearate is a lipid-soluble derivative of kahweol, a bioactive diterpene naturally found in coffee beans. This esterification enhances its stability and compatibility for use in advanced lipid-based formulations. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-end cosmetic industries for its potential bioactive properties. The compound is supplied under the identifier CAS NO 108214-31-9.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of novel drug candidates targeting inflammation and metabolic pathways.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Incorporated into softgel capsules, lipid nanoparticles, and other delivery systems designed for enhanced bioavailability of coffee-derived bioactives.
• Cosmetic Actives: Used in premium skincare products such as anti-aging serums and creams for its potential antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in laboratory studies investigating the mechanisms of kahweol and its derivatives.
• Functional Food Additives: Explored for fortification of foods and beverages where lipid-soluble active ingredients are required.
• Lipid Carrier Systems: Acts as a functional excipient in the development of advanced lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) and self-emulsifying formulations.
