Description

Feruloylputrescine is a naturally occurring hydroxycinnamic acid amide, formed by the conjugation of ferulic acid with the diamine putrescine. This compound matters as a key biochemical intermediate in plant metabolism, playing a significant role in cell wall reinforcement and stress response pathways. It is needed by researchers in plant biology and biochemistry, as well as by manufacturers in the nutraceutical and cosmetic industries seeking bioactive natural derivatives for product development.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or intermediate in studies of plant polyamine metabolism, phenolic compound biosynthesis, and oxidative stress responses.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated as a potential bioactive ingredient due to its antioxidant properties derived from its ferulic acid moiety.
• Cosmetic Science: Explored for use in skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.
• Plant Physiology Studies: Serves as a marker or experimental compound in research on plant defense mechanisms and cell wall lignification.
• Enzymology: Used as a substrate for studying the activity of specific acyltransferases and other enzymes involved in secondary metabolite synthesis.

Quality Control

Our Feruloylputrescine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and development. 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
