Description
Berberine Hydrochloride (Berberine HCl) is an organic compound, an alkaloid extracted from various plants such as Coptis chinensis and Phellodendron phellodendri. It presents as a yellow crystalline powder with the chemical formula C20H18ClNO4. It is readily soluble in boiling water but sparingly soluble in cold water, ethanol, chloroform, and ether. In manufacturing, it is used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or a component in dietary supplements. Key technological properties include its stability in dry form and sensitivity to light. For purchasers, it is crucial to pay attention to the product's purity, confirmed by certificates of analysis, and adherence to storage conditions in a dark, dry place to prevent degradation. Various grades of purification, including Food Grade, are available.
Applications
Used in the pharmaceutical industry for drug manufacturing. Applied in the production of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals.
