Description

Sarsasapogenin 3-o-β-D-Galactopyranosid is a specific glycosidic derivative of the steroidal sapogenin, sarsasapogenin, where a galactose sugar moiety is attached at the 3-position. This compound is of significant interest as a high-purity reference standard and a critical intermediate in pharmaceutical and phytochemical research. It is primarily required by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and manufacturers engaged in the development of steroidal drugs, nutraceuticals, and for quality control in botanical extract standardization.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the identification and quantification of sarsasapogenin derivatives in drug substances and finished products via HPLC, LC-MS, or TLC.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate or substrate in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway investigations, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of steroidal compounds.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient Development: Employed in the research and formulation of advanced bioactive ingredients derived from botanical sources like Smilax species.
• Academic Research: Utilized in universities and research institutes for synthetic chemistry projects, natural product isolation, and pharmacological screening.
• Quality Control for Herbal Extracts: Acts as a marker compound to standardize and authenticate botanical raw materials and extracts, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and efficacy.

Quality Control

Our Sarsasapogenin 3-o-β-D-Galactopyranosid is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture.
