90902-21-9 - Introduction
Broussonin E(Broussonin E) is a natural compound with the chemical structure 1,3, 8-Trihydroxy-6-methyl-10-(3-methyl-but-2-enyloxy)-9(10h)-anthrone. It is mainly found in red capers (Caesalpinia sappan).
Broussonin E is a pale yellow crystalline solid that can be dissolved in some organic solvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide and acetone. It is stable in air, relatively stable at room temperature, and relatively thermally stable.
Broussonin E has many biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and so on. Studies have shown that Broussonin E has an inhibitory effect on some cancer cells and has a certain potential for the treatment of tumors.
The method of preparing Broussonin E is mainly extracted from the heartwood of red capers. The sour bean heartwood is ground to a powder and then leached with an organic solvent such as ethanol. Then it was purified by column chromatography and other means, and finally pure Broussonin E was obtained.
Broussonin E is relatively safe under proper use and storage conditions. However, due to its in vivo activity and potential pharmacological effects need to be further studied, so care needs to be taken during use. For some specific groups, such as pregnant women, lactating women and people with chronic diseases, it is best to use it under the guidance of professionals. In laboratory studies, appropriate protective measures should be taken to avoid direct contact with the skin and inhalation into the respiratory tract. If taken or tasted by mistake, seek medical attention immediately.
