(+)-LARICIRESINOL (C005B-474604)

General description

Lariciresinol(LA) is a dietary phytoestrogen plant lignan. It is one of the main active phytochemicals in many traditional medicinal plants and cereals.

Application

Lariciresinol has been used as a reference standard:

• in the purification, identification, and analysis of lignan phytoestrogens and lignan glycosides
• for the determination of the enantiomeric composition of lariciresinol from the pinoresinol to lariciresinol reduction reaction using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
• forqualitative and quantitative analysis of lignans in seven types of triticalegrain using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lariciresinol is a potent dietary antioxidant and a radical scavenger by potentially chelating catalytic Fe²⁺ ions. It exerts antimicrobial effects against foodborne pathogens S. aureus and E. coli O157:H7. Lariciresinol is an effective anticancer agent that inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in human HepG2 cells in vitro. It also displays anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects in vitro and in vivo studies respectively.
