Multi-Target Metabolic Regulator & Neuroprotector
≥98% Purity (HPLC-validated), ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and bioactivity.
Anticancer Activity: Inhibits proliferation of liver cancer SMMC and leukemia HL cells (IC₅₀: 15 μM) with no toxicity to normal immune cells.
Neuroprotection: Suppresses Notch signaling, reducing neuroinflammation and Aβ aggregation—potential for Alzheimer’s therapy.
Antitumor & Immunomodulation
Induces apoptosis in cancer cells via Bax/Bcl-pathway activation and caspase cleavage.
Inhibits histamine release from basophils, alleviating allergic responses6.
Anti-Inflammatory & Smooth Muscle Relaxation
Reduces airway spasms by suppressing smooth muscle hypercontraction.
Antifungal activity against skin pathogens (e.g., Trichophyton mentagrophytes).
Cardiovascular Protection
Lowers thrombosis risk and improves microcirculation.

1. Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals
Oncology Adjuvants: Synergizes with chemotherapy (e.g., doxorubicin), reducing side effects while enhancing efficacy.
Liver Health Formulations: 10–50 mg/dose in hepatoprotective blends (lowers ALT by 48% in NAFLD models).
2. Cosmeceuticals
Anti-Aging Serums (1–3%): Inhibits MMP-1 (82%) and UV-induced collagen degradation.
3. Functional Foods
Stabilized Beverages: β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes boost water solubility to 35 mg/mL for clear drinks (shelf-life >18 months).
1. Green Extraction Technology
Supercritical CO₂ Extraction: Solvent-free, yield ≥96%, energy-efficient (40% less vs. ethanol methods).
2. Polymorph Control
Needle Crystals (β-form): Optimized bioavailability (particle size: 100–300 μm) and bulk density (0.45 g/cm³) for tablet compression.
3. Global Compliance
Dossiers prepared for ISO9001 registrations; heavy metals controlled (As <0.1 ppm, Pb <0.2 ppm; ICP-MS).
