Description

Mulberrofuran F CAS NO 89200-00-0 is a bioactive prenylated 2-arylbenzofuran derivative, a key marker compound found in the Morus alba L. (white mulberry) root bark. This compound matters for its significant pharmacological potential, particularly as a potent inhibitor of melanogenesis, making it a high-value target for advanced cosmetic and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily needed by R&D scientists and formulators in the cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries focused on developing innovative skin-lightening agents, anti-aging products, and other therapeutic applications.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare R&D: As a key active ingredient in formulations targeting hyperpigmentation, age spots, and melasma due to its strong tyrosinase inhibition and anti-melanogenic properties.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Investigated for its potential therapeutic effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities in preclinical studies.
• Nutraceutical Development: Used as a standardized extract component or a reference standard in dietary supplements aimed at skin health and antioxidant support.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and quantitative analysis in herbal extract manufacturing and academic research.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a specific probe in studies of melanogenesis pathways and enzyme inhibition mechanisms.
