Description

Platycodin D CAS NO 58479-68-8 is a high-purity triterpenoid saponin, a key bioactive constituent extracted from the root of *Platycodon grandiflorus* (Balloon Flower). This compound is valued for its significant pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and immunomodulatory effects. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced cosmetic industries for use in research, formulation, and the development of standardized herbal extracts.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for developing anti-inflammatory, cough suppressant, and immunoregulatory drugs.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: A key marker compound for standardizing high-quality Balloon Flower root extracts used in immune-support and respiratory health formulations.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Products: Incorporated into formulations for its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, targeting sensitive or irritated skin conditions.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a critical tool in pharmacological studies to investigate mechanisms of action related to saponin bioactivity and cell signaling pathways.
• Traditional Medicine Standardization: Serves as a quantitative marker to ensure the potency, consistency, and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations containing Jiegeng (*Platycodon* root).
