Tomatine 98% Purity Steroidal Alkaloid Glycoside Standard CAS 17406-45-0 Research Grade Reference Standard

Product Overview

Tomatine is a naturally occurring steroidal alkaloid glycoside found in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum), particularly in the leaves and unripe fruits. It is the glycosylated form of tomatidine with a tetrasaccharide moiety. This compound serves as an important reference standard for the quality control of tomato-derived products.

With the molecular formula C₅₀H₈₃NO₂₁ and a molecular weight of 1034.19 g/mol, this compound appears as a white to off-white powder. It is soluble in methanol, DMSO, and aqueous alcohol solutions. The product is supplied at ≥98% purity as determined by HPLC analysis.

Synthetic Process

Tomatine is obtained through isolation from plant sources:

1. Extraction: Tomato leaves or unripe fruits are extracted with aqueous alcohol.

2. Glycoalkaloid Precipitation: The glycoalkaloid fraction is precipitated or extracted.

3. Chromatographic Separation: The crude mixture is fractionated using column chromatography.

4. Purification: Preparative HPLC yields the pure compound.

5. Identity Confirmation: Structure is confirmed by NMR and mass spectrometry.

Mechanism of Action & Applications

This compound is primarily used as:

• Reference Standard: For the quantification of tomatine and related glycoalkaloids in tomato products.

• Quality Control: Used in the quality assessment of tomato-derived dietary supplements.
