Stachydrine
Description
Stachydrine (CAS 471-87-4) is a naturally occurring proline betaine found in plants such as Leonurus japonicus and citrus species. It is the primary bioactive marker used to standardize botanical extracts for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
In pharmaceutical development, this compound serves as the reference standard and active constituent in standardized extracts used in cardiovascular and women's health formulations. Nutraceutical manufacturers incorporate it into dietary supplements where extract potency must be verified.
Biotechnology and life sciences researchers source it as an analytical reference material for HPLC method development and bioavailability studies. Food and functional beverage formulators use standardized botanical extracts where label claims require quantified active content.
The material is available as a white crystalline powder in both high-purity reference-grade and bulk active ingredient formats. Common specifications include ≥98% purity by HPLC, suitable for use as an analytical standard or as an active in finished formulations.
Botanical extract forms standardized to a defined content are also commercially available for direct use in supplement manufacturing. This ensures consistency across production batches and meets the rigorous requirements of modern quality control protocols.
Our supply chain ensures that the material meets international quality standards for purity and stability. We provide comprehensive documentation including certificates of analysis and safety data sheets to support your regulatory compliance needs.
