Description

Luteolin 5-Methyl Ether is a specific, naturally derived flavonoid methyl ether compound. This high-purity phytochemical is valued for its role as a key reference standard and active ingredient in advanced research and development. It is primarily sought by the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries for applications in analytical chemistry, bioactivity studies, and the formulation of specialized health products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis (HPLC, LC-MS) of flavonoid content in herbal extracts and finished drug products.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient: Incorporated into dietary supplements for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivity.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Formulated into serums and creams targeting skin protection and anti-aging benefits.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reagent in studying flavonoid metabolism, enzyme inhibition, and structure-activity relationships (SAR).
• Natural Product Isolation Marker: Acts as an identification marker in the quality control of plant-derived materials like Artemisia species.
