Psoralen 98% Purity Furocoumarin Standard CAS 66-97-7 Research Grade Reference Standard

Product Overview

Psoralen is a naturally occurring furocoumarin found in the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia (Buguzhi) and other plants. It is one of the characteristic coumarins in this traditional Chinese medicine and serves as an important reference standard for quality control.

With the molecular formula C₁₁H₆O₃ and a molecular weight of 186.16 g/mol, this compound appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is soluble in methanol, ethanol, and DMSO. The product is supplied at ≥98% purity as determined by HPLC analysis.

Synthetic Process

Psoralen is obtained through isolation from plant sources:

1. Extraction: Psoralea corylifolia seeds are extracted with organic solvents.

2. Chromatographic Separation: The extract is fractionated using silica gel column chromatography.

3. Purification: Preparative HPLC or recrystallization yields the pure compound.

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