Description

Sciadopitysin is a unique biflavonoid compound, a dimer of apigenin, primarily isolated from the Japanese umbrella pine (Sciadopitys verticillata). This compound matters for its significant role in biochemical research and development due to its distinct biological activities. It is needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science sectors for applications ranging from drug discovery to the formulation of standardized botanical extracts.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: As a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate for investigating anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties.
• Natural Product Development: Used in the formulation and standardization of botanical extracts and dietary supplements targeting metabolic and age-related health.
• Biochemical Assays: Serves as a critical reagent and inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly those involving kinases and other signaling pathways.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Incorporated into advanced skincare formulations for its potential anti-aging and skin-protective benefits.
• Academic & Contract Research: Essential for university labs and CROs (Contract Research Organizations) conducting phytochemical and pharmacological studies.

Quality Control

Our Sciadopitysin is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substances, to meet the stringent requirements of research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are 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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
