Description

Lup-20(29)-Ene-3β,27-Diol is a high-purity lupane-type triterpenoid diol, a key intermediate and reference standard in advanced organic synthesis and phytochemical research. This compound is valued for its defined stereochemistry and structural framework, which serves as a critical building block for the development of novel bioactive molecules. It is primarily sought by research institutions and pharmaceutical development companies working on anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer agents, as well as by manufacturers of high-grade nutraceutical and cosmeceutical ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial chiral precursor for the semi-synthesis of novel triterpenoid derivatives with targeted biological activity.
• Reference Standard: Used as a certified analytical standard in HPLC and LC-MS methods for the quality control of plant extracts and herbal formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in in vitro and mechanistic studies to investigate structure-activity relationships (SAR) of pentacyclic triterpenes.
• Nutraceutical Development: Incorporated into high-end supplement formulations targeting metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
• Cosmeceutical Ingredient: Used in advanced skincare products for its potential anti-aging and skin-soothing properties derived from its triterpenoid structure.
• Academic Research: A valuable compound for synthetic organic chemistry studies and natural product chemistry education.
