trans-Anethole

Analysis Note
These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the US and EP primary standards, where they are available.
General description
trans-Anethole is an aromatic monoterpenoid compound and derivative of phenylpropene. It is predominantly used as a fragrance in cosmetics and as a flavoring agent in food and pharmaceutical industries.[1] Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.
This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.
Other Notes
This compound is commonly found in plants of the genus: pimpinella

Application
trans-Anethole may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in raw material, food products and pharmaceutical formulations by high performance liquid chromatography[2][3][4] and gas chromatography.[3][5][6] These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Naturally occurring phenylpropene derivative that is estrogenic at lower concentrations and cytotoxic at higher concentrations to cancer cell lines. The cytotoxicity is related to the metabolism of trans-anethole to 4-hydroxy-1-propenylbenzene.
