Taraxerone
Taraxerone has allelopathic and antifungal effects.Taraxerone prevents catalase, superoxide dismutase, and reduces glutathione concentrations from the decrease induced by ethanol administration with the concentration dependent manner.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please email to: service@chemfaces.com
The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Taraxerone enhances alcohol oxidation via increases of alcohol dehyderogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activities and gene expressions.[Pubmed:
22554647]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The present study, Taraxerone (d-friedoolean-14-en-3-one) was isolated from Sedum sarmentosum with purity 96.383%, and its enhancing effects on alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activities were determined: EC(50) values were 512.42 ± 3.12 and 500.16 ± 3.23 μM for ADH and ALDH, respectively. In order to obtain more information on Taraxerone related with the alcohol metabolism, 40% ethanol (5 mL/kg body weight) with 0.5-1mM of Taraxerone were administered to mice. The plasma alcohol and acetaldehyde concentrations of Taraxerone-treated groups were significantly lowered than those of the control group (p<0.01): approximately 20-67% and 7-57% lowered for plasma alcohol and acetaldehyde, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:
Compare to the control group, the ADH and ALDH expressions in the liver tissues were abruptly increased in the Taraxerone-treated groups after ethanol exposure. In addition, Taraxerone prevented catalase, superoxide dismutase, and reduced glutathione concentrations from the decrease induced by ethanol administration with the concentration dependent manner.

Application of the taraxerane-oleanane rearrangement to the synthesis of seco-oleanane triterpenoids from taraxerone.[Pubmed:
25219952]
Synthetic oleananes and seco-oleananes form a group of promising anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive agents with an excellent safety profile. These compounds are usually prepared by semi-synthesis from natural oleanane triterpenoids.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Since a taraxer-14-ene was reported to be rearranged into an olean-12-ene under mild reaction conditions, a rapid synthesis of seco-oleananes from Taraxerone, which is a readily available starting material, was explored by us. Treatment of Taraxerone with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gave 14,15-epoxy lactones, which underwent the taraxerane-oleanane rearrangement leading to new seco-oleanane triterpenoids.
