Description

17-Hydroxy Capsaicin is a hydroxylated derivative of capsaicin, a key alkaloid responsible for the pungency of chili peppers. This compound is valued for its potential as a research standard and a precursor in the synthesis of novel capsaicin analogs with modified biological activity. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and agrochemical sectors for developing new therapeutic agents and bioactive formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard and synthetic intermediate in the development of novel TRPV1 receptor modulators for pain management.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a key ingredient or precursor in formulating advanced dietary supplements targeting metabolic health.
• Agrochemical Research: Investigated for its potential as a bioactive component in developing natural pest deterrents and plant growth regulators.
• Biochemical Studies: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories to study structure-activity relationships (SAR) of capsaicinoid compounds.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Explored for use in topical formulations aimed at skin conditioning and localized sensory effects.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used in trace amounts for research into developing unique, potent flavor profiles and sensory agents.

Quality Control

Our 17-Hydroxy Capsaicin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical research and development work.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) to minimize oxidation and degradation. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials.
