General description

Pinocembrin is a major flavonoid molecule, isolated from a variety of plants such as Euphorbia, Sparattosperma leucanthum, Populus, Eucalyptus, Pinus heartwood, etc. It exhibits antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Anti-inflammatory.

Application

Pinocembrin has been used as a standard in the determination of pinocembrin in propolis extract, analyzed using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis).
Pinocembrin may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in honey samples using capillary electrophoresis technique.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
