Description

Limocitrin 3-o-β-D-Glucopyranoside is a specific flavonoid glycoside compound, a derivative of limocitrin where the sugar moiety is attached at the 3-position. This molecular structure is of significant interest for its potential biological activity and utility as a high-purity reference standard. It is primarily sought after by research institutions, pharmaceutical development labs, and manufacturers of nutraceutical ingredients who require well-characterized, pure compounds for analytical and developmental work.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, assay, and purity testing of related flavonoid compounds in drug development and quality control laboratories.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key reagent in studies investigating the biological activities, metabolic pathways, and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of flavonoid glycosides.
• Natural Product Isolation & Analysis: Acts as a critical analytical standard for the quantification and characterization of limocitrin derivatives in complex plant extracts and herbal formulations.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient Development: Employed in the research and standardization of advanced botanical extracts intended for dietary supplements or skincare products targeting antioxidant benefits.
• Academic Research: Utilized in university and institutional labs for teaching and fundamental research in phytochemistry, natural product chemistry, and glycoscience.
