BIOF Supply High Quality Pterostilbene 4′-O-β-D-glucoside Powder CAS 38967-99-6

Short Description:

Pterostilbene 4′-O -β -D -glucoside is a natural compound.

It’s a glucoside derivative of pterostilbene. Chemically, the presence of the glucose moiety (the -O -β -D -glucoside part) attached to pterostilbene alters its properties such as solubility and bioavailability. Pterostilbene itself is a stilbenoid, similar to resveratrol, and is known for potential antioxidant and other beneficial biological activities. The glucoside form may play a role in the transportation and metabolism of pterostilbene in organisms.

Product Function

1. Antioxidant Activity

• Pterostilbene 4′-O -β -D -glucoside has antioxidant properties. It can scavenge free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). By donating hydrogen atoms or electrons, it stabilizes the free radicals and prevents oxidative damage to cells and biomolecules like DNA, proteins, and lipids. This antioxidant function may help in reducing the risk of various diseases associated with oxidative stress, including certain types of cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

2. Anti - inflammatory Effects

• It can modulate the inflammatory response in the body. It may inhibit the production of pro - inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin - 1β (IL - 1β) and tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF - α). By doing so, it helps to reduce inflammation and may be beneficial in conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory disorders.

3. Potential Anti - cancer Properties

• There is some evidence suggesting that it might have anti - cancer activities. It could interfere with the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. It may induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells by activating certain apoptotic pathways. Additionally, it might inhibit angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow and metastasize).

Application

1. In the Pharmaceutical Industry

• Pterostilbene 4′-O -β -D -glucoside can be used as a potential drug candidate or a lead compound for the development of new drugs. Its antioxidant and anti - inflammatory properties make it a candidate for drugs aimed at treating diseases related to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. It may also be explored further for its anti - cancer potential in the development of chemotherapeutic agents or adjuvants to existing cancer treatments.

2. In the Cosmetic Industry

• Due to its antioxidant properties, it can be added to cosmetic products such as creams, lotions, and serums. It helps to protect the skin from oxidative damage caused by environmental factors like UV radiation and pollution. This can lead to anti - aging effects, such as reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving skin elasticity.

3. In the Food and Nutraceutical Industry

• It can be used as a functional ingredient in food supplements. Consumers are increasingly interested in natural products that have health - promoting benefits. Pterostilbene 4′-O -β -D -glucoside can be added to dietary supplements to provide antioxidant and anti - inflammatory support. It may also be incorporated into functional foods like energy bars or health drinks to enhance their nutritional value.
