Product Description

Matrine is a natural tetracyclic quinolizidine alkaloid and one of the major bioactive components found in Sophora species. As a representative compound of the traditional Chinese medicinal herb "Ku Shen," matrine has been widely studied and applied for its anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitumor, and immunomodulatory activities.
Through modern extraction techniques such as ethanol extraction, acid-base precipitation, and column chromatography purification, high-purity matrine can be obtained for use in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and botanical pesticides.
