Collection: Triterpenes
Triterpenes — encompasses pentacyclic triterpenoid compounds and their glycoside derivatives such as ursolic acid, betulinic acid, betulinol, as well as triterpenoid saponins from the saikosaponin and asperosaponin families isolated from plant sources. The C30 carbon skeleton with its hydroxyl and carboxyl groups is the hallmark of this secondary metabolite group.
These triterpenes are used by natural product chemistry and pharmacognosy researchers as analytical standards for identifying and quantifying triterpenoid content in plant extracts using chromatography or spectroscopy. Ursolic acid and betulinic acid are commonly used as reference compounds in structure-activity relationship research, while saikosaponins and asperosaponins are used in studies of natural product plant metabolite profiles.

Pay attention to the purity level of analytical standards, the stereochemical form of the triterpenoid isomer suited to your needs, and storage conditions that maintain the structural stability of glycosides so analysis results remain accurate. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
