Key Structural Feature

Carboxylic acid

Methyl ester

Research Positioning

Natural-product research

Triterpenoid derivative research

For procurement, researchers should always confirm the exact CAS number rather than relying on the generic term "maslinic acid."

 


 

3. Natural-Product Background

Methyl Maslinate is associated with natural-product chemistry and has been reported in several plant-related datasets.

PubChem's LOTUS-linked information records Methyl Maslinate or maslinic acid methyl ester in organisms including Isodon japonicus, Cunila lythrifolia and Prunella vulgaris.

This information is useful for natural-product researchers, but natural occurrence should not automatically be interpreted as the manufacturing source of a commercial batch.

Therefore, suppliers should clearly distinguish between:

Natural occurrence

and

Manufacturing source

For CQ HERB, the actual source and manufacturing route should be stated according to the specific product and production process.

 


 

4. Structural Information

Methyl Maslinate belongs to the pentacyclic triterpenoid family.

Its molecular formula is:

C31H50O4

and its molecular weight is:

486.73 g/mol

PubChem provides detailed structural information, including the compound's InChI, InChIKey, SMILES and systematic chemical name.

This information can be useful when researchers compare Methyl Maslinate with related triterpenoids.

 


 

5. Why CAS 22425-82-7 Matters

The term "maslinate" can be confusing because multiple related triterpenoid compounds may appear in natural-product literature.

For procurement, buyers should confirm:

CAS No.: 22425-82-7

and cross-check:

Molecular formula

Molecular weight

Chemical structure

HPLC purity

COA

Batch information

This provides a more reliable basis for material identification.

 


 

6. Research Applications

Methyl Maslinate can be positioned for several research contexts without making therapeutic or health claims.

Natural-Product Chemistry

Methyl Maslinate can be used as a defined triterpenoid-related compound in natural-product chemistry research.

Analytical Research

A characterized Methyl Maslinate material can be used where an analytical compound or reference material is required.

Structural Research

Its defined molecular structure allows researchers to compare it with related pentacyclic triterpenoids and ester derivatives.

Biochemical Research

Methyl Maslinate has appeared in scientific research involving biochemical and molecular systems.

For commercial communication, these should be described as research contexts, rather than as evidence of a health benefit.

 


 

7. Methyl Maslinate as a Research Compound

A key distinction between Methyl Maslinate and a conventional botanical extract is chemical definition.

A botanical extract may contain multiple compounds, while an isolated Methyl Maslinate product is intended to provide a specific chemical entity with a defined molecular identity.

This makes parameters such as:

CAS number

Purity

HPLC profile

Molecular formula

Molecular weight

Batch number

particularly relevant to researchers.

 


 

8. HPLC and Quality Control

For research-grade Methyl Maslinate, analytical characterization is an important part of supplier evaluation.

CQ HERB can provide quality documentation according to the agreed specification, including:

COA

HPLC purity

HPLC chromatogram

SDS

TDS

Product specification

Batch information

Storage recommendations

For customers requiring a specific analytical method, the testing requirements should be confirmed before production or shipment.

 


 

9. Appearance and Physical Form

Methyl Maslinate is generally supplied as a powder or solid material.

Public chemical databases and commercial references describe the compound as a solid material, while specific color descriptions may vary between suppliers.

For CQ HERB's official product specification, the appearance and color should always correspond to the actual production batch.

Recommended wording:

Appearance: Powder

If a specific color is confirmed by your current COA, that color can be added to the specification.

 


 

10. Storage and Handling

Methyl Maslinate should be stored in a tightly sealed container under controlled conditions.

General storage recommendations include:

Keep dry.

Protect from moisture.

Protect from excessive light.

Minimize prolonged exposure to air.

Follow the storage conditions stated on the product SDS and COA.

For long-term storage, the actual validated storage recommendation for the supplied batch should be followed.

 


 

11. How to Select a Methyl Maslinate Supplier

1. Confirm CAS Number

22425-82-7

2. Confirm Molecular Formula

C31H50O4

3. Confirm Molecular Weight

486.73 g/mol

4. Check HPLC Purity

Ask for the actual batch HPLC result rather than relying solely on a website specification.

5. Request COA

A professional COA should identify the material and corresponding batch.

6. Request Supporting Documentation

Depending on the application, buyers may require:

COA

HPLC chromatogram

SDS

TDS

Product specification

Batch information

Export documentation

 


 

12. Methyl Maslinate vs. Other Triterpenoids

Methyl Maslinate belongs to a broad group of pentacyclic triterpenoid-related compounds.

For research procurement, compounds should not be selected solely by a general category such as "triterpenoid."

Researchers should confirm the exact chemical identity.
