Amyrin dosage

Amyrins ( CAS 559-70-6), are natural triterpenes widely present in resins, gums and various medicinal plants. These bioactive compounds are studied for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and protective properties, which makes them particularly interesting for the nutraceutical, cosmetic and phytotherapeutic industries. The dosage of amyrins is essential to guarantee the standardization of plant extracts and ensure the conformity of formulations intended for the market.

Analytical methods for the determination of amyrins

The analysis of amyrins is based on high-precision chromatographic techniques, allowing the separation, identification and quantification of these triterpenes.

• HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) : used for the quantification of α-amyrin and β-amyrin in complex extracts, it ensures reliable reproducibility.
• LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry) : allows more sensitive and specific detection, particularly for complex formulations or those with low amyrin content.
• GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) : complementary method, often used for the analysis of resinous extracts and vegetable oils.

These methods, also used for other bioactive compounds such as theobromine or trigonelline , allow for precise quantification in accordance with current standards.

Industrial applications and sectors concerned

The dosage of amyrins is relevant in several industrial sectors:

• Nutraceuticals : standardization of food supplements based on resins or plant extracts.
• Cosmetics : enhancement of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in skin formulations.
• Medicinal plants : quality control of traditional gum and resin extracts.
• Pharmaceutical research : study of the pharmacological role of triterpenes in the development of new products.

This service is part of a global logic of valorization of plant active ingredients, in the same way as the analysis of aescins , gymnemic acids or tyramine .

Matrices analyzed for amyrins

The assay can be performed on a wide variety of matrices: plant resin extracts, medicinal plant powders, essential or plant oils, food supplements in the form of capsules, tablets or liquid formulations. Each matrix requires specific analytical preparation to ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of the results.

Challenges of standardization and traceability

Amyrin concentrations vary depending on the botanical origin, extraction processes and manufacturing conditions. Their quantification in the laboratory makes it possible to verify the actual content of active ingredients claimed on the label, to compare consistency between different production batches, to guarantee the traceability of raw materials and to ensure regulatory compliance of products placed on the market. These issues are similar to those observed for other plant bioactive compounds such as tryptamine or theanine .
