Description

Cycloartenone CAS NO 511-63-7 is a tetracyclic triterpenoid compound, a key biosynthetic precursor in the formation of phytosterols and other plant steroids. This compound is of significant interest for its role as a biochemical marker and its potential biological activities. It serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard for research and development in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and botanical extract industries, where precise chemical profiling is essential.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a high-purity reference standard in the study of sterol biosynthesis pathways and for the quality control of plant-derived drug candidates.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a marker compound for the standardization and authentication of botanical extracts intended for dietary supplements.
• Academic & Biochemical Studies: Employed in laboratories investigating plant metabolism, enzyme mechanisms, and the biosynthesis of complex natural products.
• Cosmeceutical Ingredients: Explored for potential skin-beneficial properties in advanced cosmetic formulations, given its structural relationship to bioactive triterpenoids.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a sophisticated starting material or intermediate for the semi-synthesis of novel steroid analogs and other triterpenoid derivatives.
