Honeysuckle flower (Lonicera japonica) is a dried floral raw material widely utilized in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. The core extraction process involves hydroalcoholic reflux or supercritical CO2 extraction to isolate active constituents such as chlorogenic acid and luteolin. While the botanical source is distinct, specific standardized extracts are often characterized by molecular formulas like C16H18O9 for chlorogenic acid and CAS No. 333-70-4.
Raw materials must be stored in cool, dry environments below 25°C with humidity controlled under 60% to prevent microbial growth. Clinical usage requires strict adherence to dosage guidelines to avoid gastrointestinal distress; pregnant women and patients with compromised liver function should exercise caution under professional supervision.
