Description

Hydroxycitric Acid Lactone, (-)-(P) CAS NO 27750-13-6 is a specific stereoisomer of hydroxycitric acid lactone, a key intermediate and bioactive compound derived from Garcinia species. This high-purity form is critical for research and development in metabolic pathways and as a precursor for synthesizing standardized nutraceutical ingredients. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, dietary supplement, and food ingredient sectors requiring precise chemical control for efficacy studies and product formulation.

Application

• Dietary Supplement Formulation: Serves as a high-purity reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in weight management and metabolic health products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and synthesis of novel compounds targeting ATP-citrate lyase and lipid metabolism.
• Nutraceutical Research: Acts as a critical standard in analytical laboratories for quantifying hydroxycitric acid content in botanical extracts like Garcinia cambogia.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed in the development of functional foods and beverages designed to support metabolic health.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in in-vitro and in-vivo studies to investigate mechanisms related to fatty acid synthesis, appetite regulation, and energy metabolism.
• Quality Control & Standardization: Essential for creating calibrated standards to ensure potency, purity, and consistency in finished commercial products.
