  • Applications

    Ginkgolide M (CAS 15291-78-8) is a natural-product diterpene trilactone isolated from Ginkgo biloba. In practice, it is primarily used as a research chemical in pharmaceutical and natural-product studies: it is evaluated for pharmacological activity, notably as a potential PAF receptor antagonist, and serves as a synthetic starting point or intermediate for the preparation of ginkgolide derivatives. It is also used as a natural product reference standard and marker for quality control in Ginkgo biloba extracts, and as an analytical reference in methods (LC/GC) to quantify ginkgolides. Additionally, it functions as a research reagent in academic and industrial settings for structure- and activity relationship investigations of diterpene lactones.
