Description

27-Deoxyactein is a specialized triterpene glycoside compound derived from the *Cimicifuga racemosa* (Black Cohosh) plant. This high-purity reference standard is critical for analytical research, quality control, and the development of standardized botanical extracts. It serves as an essential tool for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and botanical extract industries who require precise quantification and characterization of active constituents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification and quantification of actein and related compounds in drug substances and finished products.
• Botanical Extract Standardization: Essential for the quality control and standardization of Black Cohosh (*Cimicifuga racemosa*) extracts to ensure consistent potency and efficacy.
• Analytical Research & Method Development: Serves as a key analyte in developing and validating HPLC, LC-MS, and other chromatographic methods for natural product analysis.
• Bioactivity Studies: Utilized in pharmacological and biochemical research to investigate the specific biological activities and mechanisms of action of triterpene glycosides.
• Nutraceutical Quality Assurance: Employed to verify label claims and ensure the purity and authenticity of dietary supplements containing Black Cohosh.
• Academic Research: Used in university and institutional labs for phytochemical studies, metabolic pathway research, and natural product chemistry.
