Description

23-Hydroxytormentic Acid is a naturally occurring triterpenoid compound, a key bioactive constituent found in various medicinal plants. This high-purity standard is essential for research and development in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, where precise chemical reference materials are critical. It is primarily sought by scientists and manufacturers working on anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and metabolic syndrome-related applications, as well as for quality control in botanical extract standardization.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, assay, and purity testing of herbal extracts and finished products in QC/QA laboratories.
• Bioactivity Research: Serves as a key investigational compound in preclinical studies targeting inflammation, diabetes, and liver diseases due to its reported pharmacological activities.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Incorporated into standardized botanical supplements, particularly those derived from *Rosa roxburghii* or *Eriobotrya japonica* (loquat), to ensure consistent potency and efficacy.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as an external standard for method development and validation in analytical techniques such as HPLC, UPLC, and LC-MS for quantitative analysis of complex plant matrices.
• Cosmeceutical Development: Explored for potential use in skincare formulations for its antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
