Eurycomanone

Eurycomanone (CAS 84633-29-4, molecular formula C20H24O9) is a quassinoid compound isolated from Eurycoma longifolia, a Southeast Asian medicinal plant. It is also referenced under the synonyms Pasakbumin-A and NSC 339187. No E-code or standardised food additive designation applies to this substance.

In pharmaceutical research, eurycomanone serves as a bioactive reference standard and intermediate for studies targeting androgen regulation and anti-proliferative mechanisms, where it acts by modulating steroidogenic pathways. It is also used in biotechnology assays as a tool compound to investigate cytotoxic activity against specific cancer cell lines.

Eurycomanone is supplied as a solid in research and pharmaceutical-intermediate grades, with purity specifications typically confirmed by HPLC. Material intended for regulated applications should be assessed for REACH compliance under EU chemical regulations. Packaging is available in small-quantity formats suited to laboratory and development-scale procurement.
