  • Applications

    ginkgolide-C is a natural diterpene lactone isolated from Ginkgo biloba; in practice, it is commonly used as a reference standard and quantitative analytical marker for quality control of Ginkgo biloba extracts (e.g., LC-MS/HPLC). It is also studied as a bioactive lead related to PAF receptor antagonism, so it appears in pharmaceutical and biomedical research as a model compound. Additionally, ginkgolide-C serves as a target compound in isolation and characterization workflows for Ginkgo constituents. It may be evaluated in cosmetic and personal care research as a plant-derived bioactive component and used as a reference in formulation feasibility studies. In academic settings, it functions as reference material for receptor-binding and structure-activity investigations.
