Description

Pennogenin CAS NO 507-89-1 is a steroidal sapogenin, a key chemical intermediate and reference standard derived from various plant sources. This compound is of significant interest in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries due to its role as a precursor and its potential bioactive properties. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and suppliers of high-purity botanical extracts for the development and quality control of steroidal drugs and health supplements.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of steroidal drugs and novel therapeutic agents.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard in HPLC, LC-MS, and TLC for the identification and quantification of pennogenin in complex botanical matrices.
• Nutraceutical Research: Employed in research and development of dietary supplements and functional foods for studying bioavailability and metabolic pathways.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A vital compound for pharmacological studies investigating anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, or other biological activities.
• Botanical Extract Standardization: Essential for standardizing extracts from plants like Dioscorea (yam) species, Paris polyphylla, and other medicinal herbs.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the semi-synthesis of more complex steroidal molecules with modified biological profiles.
