Product Description

Product Description

Diosgenin is a naturally-occurring steroid saponin found in certain plants such as wild yams (Dioscorea species) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum). It is an important precursor for the synthesis of various steroid hormones in the pharmaceutical industry, including progesterone, and other adrenal corticosteroids. Below is a general outline of product information for diosgenin:

Product Description:
Diosgenin is extracted from the tubers or roots of plants that contain high amounts of this compound. Wild yam, particularly Dioscorea villosa, is one of the most common sources. The raw material undergoes a process that includes grinding, saponification, and separation to isolate the diosgenin.

Chemical Formula: C27H42O3

Molecular Weight: 414.63 g/mol

Chemical Structure: Diosgenin has a steroid-like structure, which is a characteristic four-ring carbon structure with various functional groups attached.

Purity and Concentration:
Diosgenin products are often available in varying levels of purity, quantified as a percentage of the active compound. Pharmaceutical-grade diosgenin may require very high purity levels.

Uses:

• Pharmaceutical: Diosgenin is used as a starting material for the semi-synthesis of various steroid hormones.
• Nutritional Supplements: It has been marketed in supplement form for various health claims, such as menopause symptom relief, although the scientific support for these uses is limited. The body cannot convert diosgenin into hormones without laboratory conditions, so its effectiveness as a supplement is a matter of debate.
• Research: Diosgenin is used in medical and biochemical research due to its role in steroid synthesis.

Storage:
Diosgenin should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light. The storage conditions help preserve the stability of the compound.

Handling and Safety:
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provide detailed handling and safety information. Diosgenin should be handled with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment.

Regulatory Status:
The regulatory status of diosgenin can vary by country and intended use. While it is an important chemical in the pharmaceutical industry, its use in dietary supplements may be subject to different regulations and restrictions.
