Description

Cistanoside D CAS NO 94492-21-4 is a bioactive phenylethanoid glycoside compound isolated from the traditional medicinal herb *Cistanche* species. This high-purity reference standard is critical for ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of herbal extracts and nutraceutical formulations. It serves as an essential analytical standard for researchers and quality control professionals in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and botanical extract industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of Cistanche-based drugs and herbal preparations.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Quality Control: Acts as a key marker compound for the standardization and potency verification of health supplements containing Cistanche extracts.
• Biomedical Research: Employed in pharmacological and biological activity studies investigating its potential neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties.
• Herbal Extract Authentication: Serves as a chemical fingerprint to authenticate Cistanche species and detect adulteration in raw botanical materials.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing and validating analytical methods such as HPLC, LC-MS, and TLC in quality control laboratories.
