Description

(Z)-23-Coumaroylhederagenin is a specialized triterpenoid saponin derivative, valued for its role as a high-purity reference standard and bioactive research compound. Its significance lies in providing researchers and manufacturers with a precisely characterized molecule for analytical method development, pharmacological studies, and quality control of botanical extracts. This compound is primarily needed by the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and academic research sectors for applications in drug discovery, standardization of herbal products, and metabolic pathway investigation.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of herbal medicines and complex natural product formulations.
• Bioactivity Research: Serves as a key intermediate or target molecule in studies investigating anti-inflammatory, anticancer, or antimicrobial properties of triterpenoid compounds.
• Natural Product Isolation & Identification: Acts as a benchmark in chromatographic (HPLC, LC-MS) and spectroscopic (NMR) workflows for identifying related saponins in plant extracts.
• Nutraceutical Standardization: Employed to standardize and authenticate botanical dietary supplements derived from saponin-rich plant sources like ivy (Hedera helix) or ginseng.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Provides a structurally complex starting point for the semi-synthesis of novel derivatives with potentially enhanced biological activity.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Utilized in university and government laboratories for fundamental research on plant biochemistry and natural product chemistry.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-23-Coumaroylhederagenin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR/HRMS for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and reference standard applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting batch-specific data.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment and handled under conditions that minimize exposure to light and atmospheric humidity.
