Description

(+)-Mollisacacidin CAS NO 967-27-1 is a high-purity, optically active flavan-3-ol derivative belonging to the class of condensed tannins or proanthocyanidins. This compound is of significant interest for its role as a key chiral building block and a reference standard in phytochemical and pharmacological research. It is primarily sought by research institutions and manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical development sectors. Its specific stereochemistry makes it a valuable tool for studying structure-activity relationships and for the synthesis of complex natural products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a chiral intermediate or a reference standard in the development of new therapeutic agents, particularly those targeting oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a high-purity standard for the quality control and standardization of botanical extracts, such as those from Acacia species, used in dietary supplements.
• Cosmetic Science: Employed in R&D for formulating advanced skincare products, leveraging its potential antioxidant properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a valuable chiral precursor for the synthesis of more complex flavonoids and proanthocyanidin analogs.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized as a certified reference material (CRM) for method development and validation in HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical techniques.
• Plant Biochemistry Studies: Essential for research into the biosynthetic pathways of tannins and flavonoids in plants.
