About Gambogic acid

Gambogic acid is an API reference standard carrying the CAS registry number 2752-65-0. With the molecular formula C38H44O8, it has a molar mass of 628.7 g/mol. It is also known as R-gambogic acid or beta-Guttiferin.

The product is provided as a solid. Reference materials should be stored sealed and away from light and moisture, as specified on the accompanying COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a reference sample of the parent drug substance, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Gambogic acid in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
