Description

22-Dihydrobrassicasterol is a phytosterol derivative, a saturated analog of the more common brassicasterol. This compound is of significant interest in research and development for its role as a biochemical precursor and reference standard in analytical chemistry. It is primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science industries for method development, quality control, and as a building block in synthetic pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the identification, purity testing, and assay calibration of sterol-based drugs and supplements in HPLC and GC analyses.
• Nutraceutical Research: Serves as a key intermediate or analytical marker in the study of plant sterols and their health benefits, such as cholesterol management.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Acts as a crucial precursor or intermediate in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of more complex steroid molecules.
• Food & Cosmetic Analysis: Employed as an internal standard to quantify sterol content and profile in food products, oils, and cosmetic formulations.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential for metabolic pathway studies, biomarker discovery, and the development of new analytical methods in laboratories worldwide.
