Description

Adlupulone is a key β-acid hop constituent, a prenylated acylphloroglucinol derivative primarily found in the *Humulus lupulus* plant. This compound is of significant commercial interest due to its potent biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and brewing industries seeking natural bioactive ingredients for product development and research. Adlupulone CAS NO 31769-60-5 is a high-purity standard for analytical and formulation purposes.

Application

• As a reference standard in analytical laboratories for the quality control of hop extracts and related products.
• As a key bioactive ingredient in pharmaceutical research for developing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents.
• In the nutraceutical industry for formulating dietary supplements that leverage its natural antioxidant properties.
• For brewing science research to study its impact on beer flavor stability and bitterness profiles.
• In cosmetic formulations as a natural preservative and active component due to its antimicrobial efficacy.
• As a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of more complex pharmaceutical compounds.
