  • Applications

    Nectandrin B (CAS 74683-16-2) is a natural polyphenolic lignan-type compound. In industrial contexts, it is typically investigated as a potential antioxidant for cosmetics and personal care, and as an intermediate for the synthesis of lignan derivatives used in pharmaceutical research. Additionally, owing to its stability and reported bioactivity, it is evaluated for roles as a stabilizing additive in polymers and coatings/inks, or as a precursor in polymer synthesis. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
