(3beta,12beta,20R)-12,20-Dihydroxydammar-24-en-3-yl beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside(CAS: 155683-00-4)

This compound is a steroidal glycoside with a molecular weight of approximately 1014 Da. It is poorly soluble in water but has good solubility in organic solvents like methanol and ethanol. Chemically, it is stable under normal conditions but may react with strong acids. It is a crystalline solid with a melting point around 200°C.

It is synthesized through the glycosylation of 12,20-dihydroxydammar-24-en-3-yl-β-D-xylopyranoside using a silyl chloride and a protecting group like Boc followed by deprotection. The final step involves condensation with β-D-glucopyranoside in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as sodium hydride, yielding the desired product with good yield and selectivity.

This compound is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. It is also explored in cosmetics for its skin care benefits and in the food industry as a potential functional ingredient for health claims.

Handling this compound should be done in a well-ventilated area, preferably in a fume hood. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Spills should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate absorbents. Storage should be in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions and emergency procedures.
