Matrine

Sinónimos: Matrine, Sophora flavescens extract, Sophora root extract, Kushen extract, C15H24N2O

Matrine is a quinolizidine alkaloid extracted from the roots of Sophora flavescens, a plant widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is known for its bitter taste. The compound has a long history of use in Asia for its purported anti-inflammatory and antiparasitic effects.

As a natural alkaloid, matrine is often compared to other quinolizidine alkaloids such as oxymatrine and sophoridine, which share similar structural features but differ in biological activity. Its molecular formula is C15H24N2O, and it is soluble in water and common organic solvents like ethanol and chloroform.

Matrine is standardized to ≥98% purity (HPLC) for industrial and research applications. It is primarily used in pharmaceutical intermediates, veterinary medicine, and as a reference standard in analytical laboratories. Its versatility and well-defined chemistry make it a valuable raw material for B2B customers.
