Cubebin Analysis Service

What is Cubebin?

Cubebin is a lignan, which is a type of polyphenol that is commonly found in plants. This compound is specifically found in the seeds of the Piper cubeba plant. It is known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, and anti-fungal properties, among others.

Cubebin is used for medicinal purposes and it is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it effective in treating diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism and gout. It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties. cubebin has also been shown to have potential anticancer properties, making it a promising compound for cancer research and treatment.

Due to its therapeutic potential, relevant studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of the cytotoxic activity, cell proliferation kinetics, and mutagenicity of cubebins, with the expectation that derivatization of cubebins will provide some new insights for new drug development and disease treatment.

HPLC-MS is a powerful analytical technique that can be used to analyze cubebin and other natural products, giving you a better understanding of their chemical properties and potential therapeutic uses. At Creative Proteomics, we offer a full range of cubebin analysis services to help you advance your research project/subject.
