Description

Onocerane I (8Beta(H), 14Alpha(H)) is a specific, high-purity stereoisomer of the triterpenoid hydrocarbon onocerane, identified by the CAS registry number 56297-92-8. This compound is valued as a critical reference standard and analytical marker for research and quality control in industries dealing with natural products. It is primarily sought by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and manufacturers of high-value botanical extracts who require precise chemical characterization. Its defined stereochemistry makes it essential for studies in organic synthesis, geochemistry (as a biomarker), and the authentication of plant-derived materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the identification, purity testing, and assay calibration of complex natural product mixtures in drug discovery and development.
• Academic and Industrial Research: Serves as a key intermediate or model compound in synthetic organic chemistry and stereochemical studies.
• Geochemical Biomarker Analysis: Employed in petroleum and environmental geochemistry as a diagnostic tracer for organic matter origin and maturity.
• Botanical Extract Authentication: Acts as an analytical standard to verify the presence and concentration of specific triterpenoids in plant materials and herbal supplements.
• Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA): Essential for ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and regulatory compliance in the production of standardized natural products.
• Analytical Method Development: Used to develop and validate chromatographic methods (e.g., GC, HPLC) for the separation and quantification of terpenoids.
