Description

8-Hydroxypinoresinol is a naturally occurring lignan compound, a dimeric derivative of coniferyl alcohol. This compound matters for its role as a key phytochemical marker and its potential bioactive properties, which are of significant interest in research and development. Industries requiring high-purity reference standards for analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical research, and nutraceutical development are the primary users of this material.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification and quantification of lignans in herbal extracts and finished products.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate or substrate in studies investigating lignan biosynthesis pathways and enzyme activities.
• Nutraceutical Analysis: Employed as an analytical standard to verify the potency and authenticity of dietary supplements derived from sources like sesame seeds or olive wood.
• Natural Product Isolation: Acts as a target compound for the isolation, purification, and characterization of bioactive components from plant matrices.
• Quality Control (QC) in Herbal Medicine: Utilized in HPLC and LC-MS methods to standardize and ensure batch-to-batch consistency of traditional medicine formulations containing lignans.

Quality Control

Our 8-Hydroxypinoresinol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, MS). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided and available upon request to ensure full transparency and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 light-sensitive nature, the container should be amber-colored or stored in opaque secondary packaging. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere to mitigate potential oxidation.
