Description

Yangonin is a naturally occurring kavalactone found in the Kava plant (*Piper methysticum*). This compound is of significant interest for its potential bioactive properties and serves as a key reference standard in analytical and research settings. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and analytical chemistry industries for product development and quality control.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in studies investigating neurological and anxiolytic effects.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: A critical component in the standardization and quality assessment of Kava-based dietary supplements and herbal extracts.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS method development and calibration.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in *in vitro* and *in vivo* studies to explore its interaction with various neurotransmitter systems and receptors.
• Cosmeceutical Development: Investigated for potential applications in topical formulations targeting skin soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits.
