Eucommia Ulmoides P.E. is a standardized extract derived from the bark of Eucommia ulmoides, primarily produced via ethanol extraction and spray drying. The core bioactive constituent is often quantified by chlorogenic acid. Standard molecular parameters include CAS No. 84929-27-5 (for specific marker compounds) with the formula C16H18O9 for chlorogenic acid.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent degradation. Clinical use mandates caution for pregnant women and patients on anticoagulant therapy due to potential hypotensive effects. Ensure compliance with GMP standards during handling.
