Description

Ophiopogonin B is a bioactive steroidal saponin primarily extracted from the tuberous roots of *Ophiopogon japonicus* (Maidong). This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and development, offering a reliable benchmark for analytical and pharmacological studies. It is essential for professionals in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and botanical extract industries who require consistent, high-quality materials for quality control, method validation, and bioactivity screening.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, assay, and impurity profiling of Ophiopogon japonicus extracts and related herbal formulations.
• Bioactivity Research: Employed in preclinical studies to investigate its potential cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer properties.
• Quality Control (QC) & Assurance: Serves as a primary standard in HPLC, UPLC, and LC-MS methods to ensure the potency, authenticity, and batch-to-batch consistency of finished products.
• Nutraceutical Development: Incorporated into the standardization of dietary supplements and functional food ingredients derived from traditional Chinese medicine.
• Academic Research: Utilized in universities and research institutes for phytochemical analysis, metabolic pathway studies, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) investigations.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Explored for its potential skin-soothing and anti-aging effects in advanced cosmetic formulations.
