Description

Licoricidin is a biologically active prenylated flavonoid compound, recognized for its significant role as a marker constituent in licorice root (Glycyrrhiza species). This compound matters for its potent and specific biological activities, making it a valuable reference standard and a key ingredient for research and development. Industries requiring high-purity phytochemicals, such as pharmaceutical R&D, nutraceutical formulation, and analytical chemistry, rely on Licoricidin CAS NO 30508-27-1 for its quality and consistency.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality control and standardization of licorice-based extracts and finished products.
• Bioactivity Research: Employed in pharmacological studies to investigate its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and potential anticancer properties.
• Nutraceutical Development: Incorporated into advanced dietary supplement formulations targeting specific health benefits derived from licorice.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a critical standard for HPLC, LC-MS, and TLC methods to identify and quantify licoricidin in complex botanical matrices.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Utilized in the development of high-end cosmetic products for its purported skin-soothing and antioxidant effects.
• Academic Research: A key compound for studies in phytochemistry, natural product isolation, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis.
