Description

Matairesinol CAS NO 580-72-3 is a naturally occurring lignan, a class of polyphenolic compounds found in various grains and seeds. It is valued for its role as a bioactive precursor to enterolignans, which are studied for their potential health-modulating properties. This high-purity compound is essential for research and development in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and life science sectors, where precise chemical standards are required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a key intermediate or reference standard in the development of drugs targeting hormonal balance and metabolic pathways.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Used as a premium ingredient in dietary supplements focused on promoting wellness and natural health benefits.
• Biochemical & Life Science Research: Acts as a critical standard in analytical methods (HPLC, LC-MS) for quantifying lignans in complex biological matrices.
• Academic & Clinical Studies: Employed in in-vitro and in-vivo research to investigate the bioavailability and biological effects of plant lignans.
• Cosmeceutical Development: Incorporated into advanced skincare formulations for its antioxidant properties.
• Food Science & Analysis: Used as an analytical standard to assess lignan content and authenticity in functional foods and raw materials.
