Momordicin I
Description
Momordicin I (CAS 91590-76-0 ) is a naturally occurring triterpenoid aldehyde isolated from Momordica charantia, characterized by a complex decahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthrene scaffold with multiple hydroxyl substituents. This bioactive cucurbitane-type compound is recognized for its distinctive structural features, including a C-17 isoprenoid side chain and a C-9 aldehyde functionality. In pharmaceutical and healthcare research, it is investigated for its hypoglycemic properties. The compound is highly relevant to antidiabetic drug discovery and metabolic disorder therapeutics. It serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in botanical extract formulations targeting blood glucose regulation. In food and nutrition applications, it contributes to the functional bioactivity profile of bitter melon-derived nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. Biotechnology researchers utilize it in enzyme inhibition assays and receptor binding studies. The material is also essential for natural product synthesis programs and life sciences research. Momordicin I is available as a purified isolated compound and as a standardized Momordica charantia extract for industrial use. Supplied in analytical-grade and research-grade specifications, the material is offered in milligram to gram quantities. Purity levels are confirmed by HPLC, NMR, and MS characterization to support regulatory requirements. Contact us for supply of Momordicin I Request Quote
