Xanthopurpurin（Cat No.:R001948） is a natural anthraquinone derivative found in certain plants, particularly in the roots of the madder plant (Rubia tinctorum). It is known for its vibrant red color and has been used historically as a dye for textiles, particularly in the production of red and pink shades. Xanthopurpurin is a secondary metabolite produced by plants as a defense mechanism against herbivores and pathogens. In addition to its use as a dye, xanthopurpurin has been studied for its potential pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, suggesting possible applications in medicine and healthcare.
