Azadirachtin I Reference Standard

Azadirachta indica is commonly referred to as the neem tree or simply neem. It serves as a rich source for triterpenoids (limonoids). Limonoids are of profound interest to humans due to their diverse medicinal properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. Azadirachtin I is a naturally occurring metabolite isolated from A. indica. It is one of the 11 major limonoids found in neem extracts. Oils extracted from neem fruits and seeds are used as one of the most popular natural insecticides, miticides, and fungicides. Moreover, in traditional medicine, all parts of the neem tree were utilized for treatment of inflammation, infections, fevers, skin diseases, and dental disorders.

Neem reference standards are broken up into two classes, azadirachtin and non-azadirachtin neem limonoids. The list of the most common standards includes: Azadirachtin A, Azadirachtin B, Azadirachtin D, Azadirachtin H, Azadirachtin I, Azadiradione, 14,15 Epoxyazadiradione, Nimbin, Salannin, 3-Deacetylsalannin, 6-Deacetylnimbin, and Ohchinolide.
