Description

Morusinol CAS NO 62949-93-3 is a natural prenylated flavonoid compound primarily isolated from the root bark of the Morus alba L. (white mulberry) tree. This compound is valued for its significant biological activity, particularly its potent inhibitory effects on tyrosinase, making it a key ingredient for targeted applications in skin health and pigmentation. It serves as a critical raw material for research and development in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-end cosmetic industries seeking natural, bioactive ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Used as a primary active ingredient in skin-lightening, brightening, and anti-pigmentation formulations due to its strong tyrosinase inhibition.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key chiral building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex pharmaceutical compounds targeting metabolic or dermatological conditions.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into supplements aimed at promoting skin health from within, leveraging its antioxidant and bioactive properties.
• Biochemical & Life Science Research: Utilized as a standard or investigational compound in enzymatic studies, particularly research focused on melanogenesis and oxidative stress pathways.
• Natural & Organic Product Development: Sought after for formulating certified natural or organic personal care products that require proven bioactive constituents.

Quality Control

Every batch of Morusinol is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay (HPLC), related substances, and residual solvents. Our quality system is designed to support applications requiring high-purity natural compounds, including those for research and cosmetic ingredient use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, heat, or light should be avoided to maintain stability and potency.
