Description

Ophiopogonin D is a bioactive steroidal saponin primarily extracted from the tuberous roots of *Ophiopogon japonicus* (Maidong). This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and development due to its significant pharmacological profile, which includes anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and potential anti-cancer activities. It is an essential compound for pharmaceutical R&D, nutraceutical formulation, and academic research focused on natural product chemistry and drug discovery.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality control and standardization of herbal extracts and finished products containing *Ophiopogon japonicus*.
• Biomedical Research: Employed in *in vitro* and *in vivo* studies to investigate its mechanisms of action, including its effects on cardiovascular function, inflammation pathways, and cellular apoptosis.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Development: Serves as a key marker compound for standardizing herbal supplements and health products aimed at supporting heart health and reducing oxidative stress.
• Academic Research & Teaching: A vital tool for universities and research institutions studying the chemistry, biosynthesis, and bioactivity of steroidal saponins.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Investigated for potential use in skincare formulations for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
