For procurement, researchers should always confirm the exact CAS number rather than relying on the generic term "maslinic acid."
Methyl Maslinate is associated with natural-product chemistry and has been reported in several plant-related datasets.
PubChem's LOTUS-linked information records Methyl Maslinate or maslinic acid methyl ester in organisms including Isodon japonicus, Cunila lythrifolia and Prunella vulgaris.
This information is useful for natural-product researchers, but natural occurrence should not automatically be interpreted as the manufacturing source of a commercial batch.
Therefore, suppliers should clearly distinguish between:
Natural occurrence
and
Manufacturing source
For CQ HERB, the actual source and manufacturing route should be stated according to the specific product and production process.
Methyl Maslinate belongs to the pentacyclic triterpenoid family.
Its molecular formula is:
C31H50O4
and its molecular weight is:
486.73 g/mol
PubChem provides detailed structural information, including the compound's InChI, InChIKey, SMILES and systematic chemical name.
This information can be useful when researchers compare Methyl Maslinate with related triterpenoids.
The term "maslinate" can be confusing because multiple related triterpenoid compounds may appear in natural-product literature.
For procurement, buyers should confirm:
CAS No.: 22425-82-7
and cross-check:
Molecular formula
Molecular weight
Chemical structure
HPLC purity
COA
Batch information
This provides a more reliable basis for material identification.
Methyl Maslinate can be positioned for several research contexts without making therapeutic or health claims.
Methyl Maslinate can be used as a defined triterpenoid-related compound in natural-product chemistry research.
A characterized Methyl Maslinate material can be used where an analytical compound or reference material is required.
Its defined molecular structure allows researchers to compare it with related pentacyclic triterpenoids and ester derivatives.
Methyl Maslinate has appeared in scientific research involving biochemical and molecular systems.
For commercial communication, these should be described as research contexts, rather than as evidence of a health benefit.
A key distinction between Methyl Maslinate and a conventional botanical extract is chemical definition.
A botanical extract may contain multiple compounds, while an isolated Methyl Maslinate product is intended to provide a specific chemical entity with a defined molecular identity.
This makes parameters such as:
CAS number
Purity
HPLC profile
Molecular formula
Molecular weight
Batch number
particularly relevant to researchers.
For research-grade Methyl Maslinate, analytical characterization is an important part of supplier evaluation.
CQ HERB can provide quality documentation according to the agreed specification, including:
COA
HPLC purity
HPLC chromatogram
SDS
TDS
Product specification
Batch information
Storage recommendations
For customers requiring a specific analytical method, the testing requirements should be confirmed before production or shipment.
Methyl Maslinate is generally supplied as a powder or solid material.
Public chemical databases and commercial references describe the compound as a solid material, while specific color descriptions may vary between suppliers.
For CQ HERB's official product specification, the appearance and color should always correspond to the actual production batch.
Recommended wording:
Appearance: Powder
If a specific color is confirmed by your current COA, that color can be added to the specification.
Methyl Maslinate should be stored in a tightly sealed container under controlled conditions.
General storage recommendations include:
Keep dry.
Protect from moisture.
Protect from excessive light.
Minimize prolonged exposure to air.
Follow the storage conditions stated on the product SDS and COA.
For long-term storage, the actual validated storage recommendation for the supplied batch should be followed.

Ask for the actual batch HPLC result rather than relying solely on a website specification.
A professional COA should identify the material and corresponding batch.
Depending on the application, buyers may require:
COA
HPLC chromatogram
SDS
TDS
Product specification
Batch information
Export documentation
Methyl Maslinate belongs to a broad group of pentacyclic triterpenoid-related compounds.
For research procurement, compounds should not be selected solely by a general category such as "triterpenoid."
Researchers should confirm the exact chemical identity.
