Description

Apioglycyrrhizin is a high-purity, specialized triterpenoid saponin derivative, primarily sourced from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza species). This compound is valued for its potent biological activity and serves as a key intermediate or active ingredient in advanced research and product development. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D teams in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking consistent, high-quality bioactive components. Our supply ensures reliable access to this material for critical applications requiring stringent quality standards.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis and development of novel anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antiviral drug candidates.
• Advanced Cosmetic Formulations: Incorporated into high-performance skincare products for its potential skin-brightening, anti-aging, and soothing properties.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Serves as a potent bioactive component in supplements targeting liver health and immune system support.
• Biochemical & Life Science Research: A critical reference standard and reagent for studying triterpenoid metabolism, biosynthesis pathways, and biological mechanisms.
• Natural Product Standardization: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality control and standardization of licorice extracts and related botanical products.

Quality Control

Our Apioglycyrrhizin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for botanical extracts and fine chemicals, supporting our commitment to supply reliability and regulatory compliance for our global B2B partners.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent degradation.
