Description

Lucidin 3-o-Glucoside is a naturally occurring anthraquinone glycoside, specifically the 3-O-glucoside derivative of lucidin. This compound is valued for its role as a key phytochemical marker and intermediate in the synthesis of specialized dyes and bioactive molecules. It is primarily sought by research institutions and manufacturers in the phytochemical, nutraceutical, and analytical reference standard sectors for quality control and product development.

Application

• Phytochemical Reference Standard: Used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of plant extracts, particularly in Rubiaceae family plants like madder (Rubia tinctorum).
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a precursor or standard in studies investigating the biosynthesis, metabolism, and biological activities of anthraquinones.
• Natural Dye Intermediate: Acts as a key intermediate in the study and production of traditional and modern anthraquinone-based dyes.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient Analysis: Employed in the quality control of herbal supplements and cosmetic products containing madder root or related botanicals to ensure authenticity and potency.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigated for its potential pharmacological properties and as a chemical entity in drug discovery pipelines.

Quality Control

Our Lucidin 3-o-Glucoside is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, MS, NMR). We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

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