General description

This substance is a primary reference substance with assigned absolute purity (considering chromatographic purity, water, residual solvents, inorganic impurities). The exact value can be found on the certificate. Produced by PhytoLab GmbH & Co. KG.

Campesterol is a major phytosterol having a core skeleton similar to cholesterol but with a methyl side chain at C24. It is used in the management of hypercholesterolemia, besides having antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.

Application

This primary reference standard can also be used as follows:

  • Development of two high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array ultraviolet/visible detection (DAD-UV/VIS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods to determine campesterol, stigmasterol, and daucosterol from the herbal samples of Artemisia apiacea
  • Multi-residue determination of β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol in rat plasma samples by liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS/MS) method
  • Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of campesterol, β-sitosterol, and stigmasterol from passion fruit seed oil samples for their determination by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID)
  • Analysis of 119 vegetable oil samples from 7 different varieties to detect and determine squalene and four sterols using a developed and validated non-destructive method based on proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy combined with partial least squares (PLS) method
  • Multi-residue analysis of isoquercitrin, campesterol, emodin 8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, and quercetin in dried stem and flower extracts of Reynoutria sachalinensis by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detection

Other Notes

This compound is commonly found in plants of the genus: ginkgo hedera lycium sambucus silybum triticum
