Product Description of Ginkgo biloba extract CAS#90045-36-6

Ginkgo biloba extract is produced through a multi-step purification process designed to concentrate active ingredients while eliminating toxic ginkgolic acid. The extract contains both polar constituents, including flavonol and flavone glycosides standardized to 24%, and nonpolar constituents such as diterpenes (ginkgolides A, B, C, J, and M), bilobalide (a sesquiterpene), and other minor components standardized to 6% terpenes.

This extract exhibits vasodilatory properties that improve arterial and venous circulation, enhance tissue perfusion, and increase cerebral blood flow. In addition, it decreases capillary permeability and fragility, reduces erythrocyte aggregation, and lowers blood viscosity. These pharmacological effects may be attributed to the inhibition of prostaglandin and thromboxane biosynthesis, regulation of catecholamines, and the strong platelet-activating factor (PAF)–blocking activity of ginkgolide B.

Product Application of Ginkgo biloba extract CAS#90045-36-6

Ginkgo biloba extract is known for its antioxidant properties and its ability to stimulate fibroblast cells to produce collagen and elastin. This effect is attributed to several flavonoid components, including quercetin, kaempferol, and ginkgetin. In addition, ginkgo exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and may help improve couperose conditions by protecting vascular walls.

Traditionally, ginkgo has been used in folkloric medicine as a vasodilator due to its capacity to enhance blood circulation and increase tissue oxygen consumption. It is widely regarded as a beneficial anti-aging ingredient. The main active constituents of ginkgo include ginkgolides and bilobalide, as well as catechins, tannins, quercetin, and luteolin.
