Salicin

Product Description

Salicin (C₁₃H₁₈O₇) is a naturally occurring phenolic glycoside found primarily in willow bark (Salix spp.) and related plants. It is a precursor of salicylic acid, known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties.
Salicin is widely used in pharmaceutical research, biochemical studies, and natural product analysis. In laboratories, it serves as a reference standard, analytical reagent, and bioactive compound for natural product chemistry. Its excellent stability and purity make it suitable for both research and formulation development.
