Matrin dosage

Matrine is a quinolizidine alkaloid derived from Sophora flavescens, a traditional Asian medicinal plant widely used for its remarkable biological properties. This molecule is being studied for its effects:

• Natural insecticides and biopesticides
• Antifungal agents for crops and plants
• Antitumor and anti-inflammatory agents in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical research

The dosage of matrin is essential in the formulation of products based on plant extracts, the standardization of food supplements, as well as in the quality control of biopesticides of natural origin.

Analysis method: HPLC or LC-MS

The analysis relies on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) techniques, enabling precise quantification of the matrin, even at low concentrations. These methods are optimized for detecting alkaloids in complex plant matrices, with or without prior purification.

Analytical parameters can be adjusted according to:

• The type of matrix (root, powder, hydroalcoholic extract, liquid formulation)
• Expected levels
• From the reference standard in question (if applicable in cosmetics, agriculture or nutraceuticals)

Affected matrices

Matrine assay is relevant to a variety of matrices used in the natural health, agriculture, or herbal formulation sectors:

• Extracts from Sophora flavescens
• Dried root powders
• Plant protection products or biopesticides
• Hydroalcoholic solutions
• Herbal food supplements

Applications and benefits of the dosage

This analysis is recommended in the following contexts:

• Quality control of plant-based raw materials
• Validation of active ingredient levels in nutraceutical formulations
• Regulatory control of natural plant protection products
• Stability or bioavailability studies
• Development of standardized food supplements

Quantifying the matrix ensures the traceability and reproducibility of finished products.
