Amyrin dosage

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

Analytical methods for the determination of amyrins

Amyrin analysis relies on high-precision chromatographic techniques, allowing these triterpenes to be separated, identified, and quantified.

• 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 for more sensitive and specific detection, particularly for complex formulations or those with low amyrin content.
• GC-MS (Gas Chromatography coupled with 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 that complies with current standards.

Industrial applications and sectors concerned

Amyrin assays are relevant in several industrial sectors:

• Nutraceuticals : standardization of food supplements based on resins or plant extracts.
• Cosmetics : enhancing 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 approach to enhancing the value of plant assets, just like 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 vegetable oils, and dietary 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 methods, and manufacturing conditions. Laboratory quantification allows verification of the actual active ingredient content claimed on the label, comparison of consistency between different production batches, guaranteeing the traceability of raw materials, and ensuring 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 .
