Kaempferitrine assay

Kaempferitrin (or kaempferol-3-rhamnoside-7-rhamnoside) is a glycosylated flavonoid derived from kaempferol, naturally present in several medicinal plants known for their effects on metabolism, including Moringa oleifera, Bauhinia forficata, and Justicia spicigera. This compound is particularly studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and hepatoprotective activities.

Kaempferitrin assay is an essential analytical tool for:

• Standardizing plant extracts for nutraceutical or phytotherapeutic use
• Verify the conformity or authenticity of botanical raw materials
• Controlling the concentration of active ingredients in food supplements
• Supporting health claims related to hypoglycemic or antioxidant effects
• Perform stability or bioavailability studies in complex matrices

Available analytical methods

The analysis of kaempferitrin relies on sensitive and selective chromatographic methods:

• HPLC-DAD: High-performance liquid chromatography with UV-visible detection, enabling efficient separation of kaempferol, its glycosylated derivatives and other flavonoids.
• LC-MS or LC-MS/MS: coupling with mass spectrometry for specific identification, even in the presence of interfering substances or in trace amounts.

These methods can be applied to a wide variety of matrices: hydroalcoholic extracts, plant powders, food supplements (capsules, tablets, herbal teas), liquid or semi-solid formulations.

Industrial applications

The measurement of kaempferitrin is particularly useful in the following areas:

• Development of functional formulations based on flavonoid-rich plants
• Evaluation of the quality of standardized extracts in nutraceutical or natural ranges
• Supplier batch control for the certification of plant or bioactive products
• Monitoring efficacy and stability in clinical trials or product aging tests
