Phytochemicals

Stability Moisture Sensitive Applications Dibutyl 4-Hydroxybutyl Phosphate is derived from 4-Tetrahydropyranyloxy-butan-1-ol (T295445), which is a useful building block. It is also a metabolite of Phosphoric Acid Tributyl Ester (P359445), which is used as a solvent in the solvent-detergent method for production of immunoglobulin for inactivation of viruses with lipid envelope on the model of duck hepatitis B virus. It is also used as a ligand in the extraction of lanthanide ions from solid and liquid materials by supercritical CO2. References Zubkova, N., et al.: Bull. Exp. Biol. Med., 155, 821 (2013); Lin, Y., et al.: Anal. Chem., 66, 1971(1994)

Applications Δ5-Avenasterol is an analog of Stigmasterol (S686750); a plant sterol that is used as a precursor in the synthesis of progesterone. References Han, P., et al.: Biotechnol. App. Biochem., 54, 105 (2009); Matsunaga, I., et al.: Anal. Biochem., 393, 222 (2009); Huang, C., et al.: Plant Physiol., 150, 1192 (2009)

Applications Madecassic Acid is a terpenoid with an ursane skeleton isolated from Centella asiatica. Madecassic Acid displays anti-inflammatory properties as a result of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 inhibition via the downregulation of NF-kappaB activation in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Madecassic Acid is found in cosmetic products due to its skin-protective activities. References Wonh, J.H. et al.: Planta Med., 76, 251 (2010); Kwon, M.C. et al.: J. Biotechnol., 157, 100 (2012); Loiseau, A. et al.: Cosm. Toil., 115, 63 (2000);
