Macleaya cordata extract

Macleaya cordata extract (CAS 112025-60-2 ), also referenced commercially as a chelerythrine chloride and sanguinarine chloride mixture, is a botanical alkaloid extract derived from the plume poppy plant. It functions as a natural biocide and antimicrobial agent across personal care, agricultural, and pharmaceutical supply chains. In animal feed and agrochemical formulations, it is incorporated as a natural growth promoter. This extract serves as an antimicrobial alternative to antibiotic feed additives, targeting gut health management in livestock and poultry production. Personal care manufacturers use it in oral hygiene products like toothpastes. Its antimicrobial activity supports plaque and bacteria control in mouthwashes. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators source it as an intermediate for alkaloid-based active ingredients where specific content is the critical specification. The defined sanguinarine and chelerythrine content ensures efficacy in these applications. Crop protection uses include botanical pesticide formulations targeting fungal and bacterial plant pathogens in various agricultural settings. Macleaya cordata extract is supplied as a dry powder or standardized liquid extract. Commercial grades are typically standardized by total alkaloid content, with sanguinarine and chelerythrine concentrations specified individually. Common benchmarks include 1%, 40%, and 50% total alkaloid content. Feed-grade and cosmetic-grade designations are the most frequently traded specifications in global markets for this versatile botanical ingredient.
