Description

Emodin 8-Glucoside is a bioactive anthraquinone glycoside, a key derivative of the natural compound emodin. This product matters for its role as a specific marker compound and a valuable intermediate in the research and development of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. It is primarily needed by manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and natural product sectors for applications in analytical standards, biochemical research, and as a precursor for further synthesis.

Application

• As a high-purity reference standard for analytical method development and quality control in herbal medicine and pharmaceutical preparations.
• In biochemical and pharmacological research to study its potential biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
• As a key intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of more complex derivatives in medicinal chemistry programs.
• For use in in-vitro diagnostic assay development targeting specific metabolic pathways.
• In the nutraceutical industry for the standardization of botanical extracts, particularly those derived from rhubarb, aloe, or Polygonum species.
• As a teaching and research tool in academic institutions for studies in natural product chemistry and phytochemistry.

Quality Control

Our Emodin 8-Glucoside is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
