Description

11-Methoxyyangonin is a specialized kavalactone derivative, a class of compounds known for their unique biological activity. This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and development in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, where precise chemical characterization is paramount. It is primarily utilized by analytical chemists, pharmacologists, and product formulators requiring a well-defined compound for method development, bioactivity studies, and quality control protocols.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified standard for the identification and quantification of kavalactones in drug substances and finished products using HPLC, LC-MS, or GC-MS.
• Bioactivity & Mechanism of Action Research: Used in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate the pharmacological profile, metabolic pathways, and receptor interactions of yangonin analogs.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Analysis: Essential for quality control and standardization of kava (Piper methysticum) extracts, ensuring product potency and consistency.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a key building block or precursor for the semi-synthesis of novel kavalactone derivatives with potential therapeutic applications.
• Academic Research & Teaching: Provides a pure compound for university laboratories conducting research on natural products, medicinal chemistry, and analytical technique development.
