General description

Ginkgolide C is an active constituent of Ginkgo biloba. The ginkgo leaves has several pharmacological properties, some of them being; improved blood flow, radical scavenging, vasoprotection, and anti-PAF (platelet aggregating factor) activity. Ginkgolide C along with the other active constituents of Ginkgo biloba, is responsible for the inhibition of PAF activity.

Application

It may be used as a reference standard in determination of ginkgolide from Ginkgo biloba commercial product, using HPLC with evaporative light-scattering detection.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Other Notes

This compound is commonly found in plants of the genus: ginkgo
