Description

Catalpol CAS NO 34168-56-4 is a high-purity iridoid glycoside, a naturally occurring bioactive compound primarily extracted from the roots of *Rehmannia glutinosa*. This compound is valued for its significant role in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the study of neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic mechanisms. It serves as a critical reference standard and active ingredient for manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key starting material or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the development of neuroprotective and metabolic disorder treatments.
• Reference Standards: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) in analytical laboratories for quality control, method validation, and compound identification via HPLC, LC-MS, or TLC.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Incorporated into dietary supplements and functional foods targeting anti-aging, cognitive support, and blood sugar management.
• Biomedical Research: Employed in *in vitro* and *in vivo* studies to investigate its effects on inflammation pathways, neuronal health, and glucose metabolism.
• Cosmeceuticals: Utilized in advanced skincare products for its potential anti-inflammatory and protective properties against environmental stressors.
