Dosage of lepidilines

Lepidilines are rare phenolic compounds, identified mainly in certain plants of the Brassicaceae family, such as Lepidium sativum . They are attracting growing interest for their potential biological properties, particularly antioxidant and protective. In the field of nutraceuticals and medicinal plants their dosage constitutes an essential tool to better characterize extracts and enhance their functional effects. Like other plant polyphenols, lepidilines require precise analysis to ensure the traceability, quality and reproducibility of the formulations containing them.

Analytical methods for the determination of lepidilines

The dosage of lepidilines is based on high-resolution chromatographic techniques:

• HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) : allows the separation and quantification of lepidilines in complex matrices such as crude plant extracts.
• LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry) : provides increased specificity, capable of identifying molecular profiles even when compounds are present in trace amounts.

These methods are comparable to those used for other families of polyphenols, such as flavonoids or sesquiterpene coumarins .

Industrial and scientific applications

The dosage of lepidilines can meet several needs:

• Nutraceutical : standardization of food supplements containing extracts of Lepidium or other Brassicaceae.
• Medicinal plants and botanical extracts : promoting natural ingredients by highlighting their specific phenolic compounds.
• Research and development : biochemical studies on the biological activity of lepidilines and their potential role in protection against oxidative stress.
• Innovative formulations : integration into supplements or functional products targeting cellular health and well-being.

These applications echo other analytical services offered by YesWeLab, such as the measurement of total polyphenols or isoflavones .

Matrices analyzed for lepidilines

YesWeLab's partner laboratories perform lepidiline analysis in various matrices: Lepidium (seed, root, leaves), concentrated plant powders, dietary supplements in capsule or tablet form, and botanical formulations for nutraceuticals. Sample preparation is tailored to each matrix to ensure reliable and reproducible results.

Quality and traceability issues

The dosage of lepidilines allows:

• Characterize and standardize plant extracts , highlighting their unique composition.
• Ensure compliance and regularity between production batches, a guarantee of quality for manufacturers and distributors.
• Add value to nutraceutical formulations by providing accurate analytical data for claims.
• Supporting scientific research with robust quantitative data.

These issues are similar to those observed for other plant biomolecules, such as trigonelline or theanine .
