Description

23-Hydroxyursolic Acid is a highly purified pentacyclic triterpenoid derivative of ursolic acid, characterized by an additional hydroxyl group at the C-23 position. This specific structural modification enhances its bioactivity profile, making it a valuable reference standard and research-grade biochemical for advanced scientific studies. It is primarily sought after by researchers and developers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries for investigating its potential therapeutic and functional properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a high-purity reference standard in analytical method development and validation for quality control of herbal extracts and formulations.
• Bioactivity Studies: Serves as a key intermediate or active compound in research focused on anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, hepatoprotective, and metabolic syndrome pathways.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated for incorporation into dietary supplements targeting metabolic health, due to its potential effects on glucose and lipid metabolism.
• Cosmetic Science: Evaluated in skincare research for its potential antioxidant, anti-aging, and skin-brightening properties.
• Academic Research: Employed in universities and research institutes for fundamental studies on triterpenoid chemistry, biosynthesis, and structure-activity relationships (SAR).
• Standard Manufacturing: Used by certified reference material (CRM) producers to develop and calibrate analytical standards for the food and drug industries.
