Description

Chrysophanein CAS NO 4839-60-5 is a naturally occurring anthraquinone derivative, specifically a glucoside of chrysophanol. This compound matters for its role as a key phytochemical marker and its potential bioactivity in various research and development applications. Industries involved in phytochemical extraction, natural product research, and the development of analytical standards require high-purity Chrysophanein to ensure accurate results and product integrity.

Application

• Phytochemical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard in HPLC and LC-MS for the identification and quantification of anthraquinones in plant extracts and herbal products.
• Natural Product Research: Serves as a key intermediate or target molecule in pharmacological studies investigating the bioactivity of anthraquinone derivatives.
• Quality Control for Herbal Medicines: Employed in the quality assurance of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) and other botanicals where chrysophanol and its glycosides are active markers.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in studies exploring enzyme inhibition, antioxidant mechanisms, or other cellular pathways influenced by anthraquinone structures.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Research: Investigated for potential applications in skincare formulations due to the biological properties associated with its aglycone, chrysophanol.

Quality Control

Our Chrysophanein is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity confirmation and identity verification via spectroscopic methods (IR, MS, NMR). We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and analytical applications.

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. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
