Description

Lucidenic Acid C is a bioactive triterpenoid compound isolated from the medicinal mushroom *Ganoderma lucidum* (Reishi). This specific isomer is of significant interest for its potent biological activities, making it a valuable reference standard and research material. It is primarily sought by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical industries for product development and quality control.

Application

• As a high-purity reference standard for analytical methods (HPLC, LC-MS) in the quality control of Reishi mushroom extracts and finished products.
• For in-vitro and in-vivo pharmacological research investigating its anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective properties.
• As a key bioactive marker compound in the standardization of premium-grade nutraceutical and dietary supplement formulations.
• In cosmeceutical research for developing skincare products targeting anti-aging and cellular protection.
• For synthetic biology and biosynthesis studies aiming to optimize the production of ganoderic and lucidenic acids.
