Description

Glyceolin CAS NO 66241-09-6 is a specialized phytochemical compound belonging to the class of pterocarpans, which are naturally occurring isoflavonoids. This compound is of significant interest for its role as a phytoalexin, a substance synthesized by plants as a defense mechanism against pathogens. It serves as a critical research standard and potential precursor for applications in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and agricultural industries, particularly for those investigating plant defense systems, natural product chemistry, and bioactive compound development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a high-purity reference standard in the study of phytoalexins, plant defense mechanisms, and for bioactivity screening in drug discovery programs.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a key ingredient or marker compound in the formulation of standardized botanical extracts aimed at supporting natural health and wellness products.
• Agricultural Science: Employed in research to understand and potentially enhance natural plant resistance to fungal and bacterial diseases, contributing to sustainable crop protection strategies.
• Biochemical Studies: Utilized as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic assays and metabolic pathway studies related to isoflavonoid biosynthesis.
• Academic & Institutional Research: A vital tool for universities and research institutes conducting studies in phytochemistry, plant physiology, and natural product isolation.
• Cosmeceutical Research: Investigated for potential antioxidant and skin-protective properties in the development of advanced cosmetic formulations.
