Usaramine
CAS: 15503-87-4
CAT: 6285
Abstract
Usaramine (CAS 15503-87-4), also known as mucronatine or (+)-usaramine, is a natural pyrrolizidine alkaloid. It comes mainly from plants in the Crotalaria genus, such as Crotalaria pallida, and other species in the Fabaceae family.
Scientists study pyrrolizidine alkaloids like usaramine because of their potential to harm the liver. They also examine their other biological effects. Researchers have tested usaramine for its antibacterial and antibiofilm activity in lab studies.
Usaramine serves as an important marker for detecting and measuring pyrrolizidine alkaloids in herbal medicines, botanical extracts, honey, and contaminated food or feed. High-purity usaramine helps laboratories develop and validate testing methods. It also supports regulatory compliance.
Planta Analytica supplies high-purity usaramine as an analytical reference standard. This product helps labs perform accurate measurements, safety checks, and toxicological research worldwide.
