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);

Applications Norhydromorphone is a novel metabolite of Hydromorphone (H714650). References Cone, E., et al.: J. Pharmaceut. Sci., 66, 1709 (1977), Konishi, M., et al.: Xenobiotica, 24, 591 (1994), Vaccarino, A., et al.: Brain Res., 666, 104 (1994), Bartlett, S., et al.: Life Sci., 57, 609 (1995),

Applications (-)-Menthone, is s a constituent of the essential oils of pennyroyal, peppermint, Pelargonium geraniums, and others. It is also a naturally occurring pesticide. References Zhang, Q., et al.: Pest Management Science, 69, 542 (2013); Weimin, Y., Shijie Nongyao, 30, 33 (2008);

Applications 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone Dimer is used in the synthesis of dihydropyrimidine calcium channel blockers. Also used in the preparation of a new antineoplastic and antifilarial agents as anticancer agents. References Atwal, K. et al., J. Med. Chem., 33, 1510 (1990); Ram, S. et al.: J. Med. Chem., 35, 539 (1992);

Applications (-)-Terpinen-4-ol (cas# 20126-76-5) is a useful research chemical.

Applications A metabolite of Icariin. Icaritin and Desmethylicaritin, two metabolites of Icariin, dramatically inhibit the growth of most malignant cells. They also have significant antiangiogenesis properties, inhibiting or eliminating entirely the development of new malignant cells.
