β-Elemonic acid(CAS: 28282-25-9)

β-Elemonic acid is a triterpene acid found in plants, particularly in the roots of ginseng. Its chemical formula is C30H48O3. It is characterized by its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

β-Elemonic acid is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is also used in cosmetics for skin care and in research for studying plant secondary metabolites.

β-Elemonic acid is generally considered safe when used appropriately. However, it should be handled with care due to its potential to cause skin irritation. Protective gloves and eyewear should be worn during handling.

β-Elemonic acid should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent degradation. Optimal storage conditions are below 25°C (77°F) and relative humidity below 60%.
