Description

Dammarane CAS NO 545-22-2 is a tetracyclic triterpenoid compound that serves as the fundamental chemical skeleton for a significant class of bioactive molecules, including ginsenosides. This core structure is of paramount importance in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical research for its role in the biosynthesis and study of triterpene saponins. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical development labs, and manufacturers of high-purity reference standards seeking a reliable building block for synthesis and analytical applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Serves as a critical primary standard or intermediate for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex triterpenoid mixtures, such as those found in ginseng extracts.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a fundamental scaffold in studies investigating the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of triterpene saponins and their pharmacological effects.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient Synthesis: Acts as a key starting material or intermediate in the semi-synthesis of standardized botanical extracts and high-value active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Academic Research: Employed in universities and research institutes for metabolic pathway studies, biosynthesis research, and the development of novel synthetic methodologies for triterpenoids.
• Analytical Chemistry: Essential for method development and validation in chromatographic techniques (HPLC, LC-MS) used to identify and quantify dammarane-type compounds.
