Description

Neocryptotanshinone is a bioactive diterpenoid quinone compound, a key constituent derived from the traditional medicinal herb *Salvia miltiorrhiza* (Danshen). Its significance lies in its potent pharmacological profile, which makes it a valuable reference standard and a promising lead compound for research and development. This high-purity material is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced chemical synthesis sectors, particularly those focused on cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory agents, and metabolic disorder therapeutics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality control and standardization of Danshen extracts and related herbal preparations.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a critical tool in pharmacological studies investigating mechanisms related to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective activities.
• Natural Product Chemistry: Employed as a building block or intermediate in the semi-synthesis of novel analogs with enhanced bioactivity.
• Nutraceutical Development: Incorporated into high-end dietary supplement formulations targeting circulatory health and wellness.
• Analytical Method Development: Utilized for calibrating equipment and validating analytical methods such as HPLC and LC-MS in quality assurance labs.

Quality Control

Our Neocryptotanshinone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with research-grade standards. We support cGMP-compliant production for advanced pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) to prevent oxidation and degradation. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials.
