Description
(-)-Alpinetin (CAS 36052-37-6), also known as 5-O-Methylpinocembrin, 5-Methoxy-7-hydroxyflavanone, and 7-Hydroxy-5-methoxyflavanone, is a naturally occurring flavanone found in the rhizomes of Alpinia katsumadai and related species. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations, alpinetin functions as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation, supporting stability in active ingredient matrices. Formulators in personal care also incorporate it into antioxidant-active topical systems where oxidative stress mitigation at the cellular level is a documented target.
(-)-Alpinetin is supplied as a powder suitable for research-scale and intermediate-scale pharmaceutical synthesis. Procurement teams should confirm batch-specific purity documentation, REACH compliance status, and applicable phytochemical sourcing standards prior to ordering.
