Description

Friedelan-3Alpha-Ol is a pentacyclic triterpenoid alcohol, also known as friedelinol, derived from various natural sources. This high-purity reference standard is critical for analytical research, quality control, and the development of new bioactive compounds. It serves as an essential building block and analytical marker for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced materials sectors seeking consistent, well-characterized phytochemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, assay, and impurity profiling of herbal extracts and finished products in QC/QA laboratories.
• Bioactivity Research: Serves as a key intermediate or target molecule in pharmacological studies investigating anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or cytotoxic properties of triterpenoids.
• Natural Product Isolation & Synthesis: Acts as a crucial standard for the isolation, purification, and structural elucidation of related triterpenes from plant matrices, as well as a starting material for semi-synthetic derivatives.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient Development: Employed in the formulation and standardization of premium botanical extracts intended for dietary supplements and cosmetic applications where triterpene content is a marker of quality and efficacy.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential for method development, validation, and teaching within university chemistry and pharmacology departments, as well as corporate R&D centers focusing on plant-based chemistry.
