CAS No 65666-07-1 , Silymarin

Title: Silymarin
CAS Registry Number: 65666-07-1
Trademarks: Apihepar (Viatris); Laragon (Roemmers); Legalon (Madaus); Pluropon (Boehringer, Ing.); Silarine (Vir); Silepar (Ibirn); Silirex (Lampugnani); Silliver (Abbott); Silmar (Von Boch)
Literature References: Antihepatotoxic principle isolated from the seeds of the milk thistle, Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. (Carduus marianus L.). Comprised mainly of three isomers: silidianin, silicristin and the major component, silybin (formerly called silymarin). Characterized as a new class of substances, flavonolignans, almost certainly produced in the plant by a radical coupling of a flavonoid and coniferyl alcohol: H?nsel et al., Dtsch. Apoth. Ztg. 108, 1988 (1968). Isoln and chemistry: Wagner et al., Arzneim.-Forsch. 18, 688 (1968); 24, 466 (1974).
