Description

Schisandrolic Acid CAS NO 55511-17-6 is a bioactive dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan primarily derived from the *Schisandra chinensis* plant. This compound is valued for its role as a key chemical reference standard and a critical intermediate in the synthesis of high-value pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients. It is essential for manufacturers and research institutions focused on hepatoprotective agents, cognitive enhancers, and adaptogenic formulations, where precise chemical identity and purity are paramount for efficacy and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality control and assay development of herbal extracts and finished drug products.
• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Intermediate: Serves as a critical building block in the synthesis of advanced hepatoprotective and neuroprotective compounds.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Formulation: Incorporated into high-end supplement blends targeting liver health, stress resistance, and physical endurance.
• Biomedical Research: Employed in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate mechanisms of action related to oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial function.
• Cosmeceutical Actives: Utilized in advanced skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
• Analytical Chemistry: Essential for developing and validating HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical methods for the quantification of lignans in complex matrices.

Quality Control

Our Schisandrolic Acid is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and MS for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for use as a reference standard and pharmaceutical intermediate. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatograms and full traceability 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 light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability.
