:Cascaroside B
Description:
Cascaroside B is a natural glycoside primarily derived from the bark of the Cascara sagrada tree (Rhamnus purshiana). It is known for its laxative properties and is often used in herbal medicine. The compound is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a sugar moiety linked to an aglycone, contributing to its biological activity. Cascaroside B exhibits a bitter taste and is typically found in the form of a white to pale yellow powder. It is soluble in water and alcohol, which facilitates its extraction from plant materials. The compound acts by stimulating peristalsis in the intestines, promoting bowel movements. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, prolonged use can lead to dependence and electrolyte imbalances, necessitating caution in its application. Overall, Cascaroside B is a significant compound in phytotherapy, with a well-documented history of use in treating constipation and related gastrointestinal issues.

CAS:Cascaroside B is a naturally occurring glycoside compound, which is derived from the cascara plant (Rhamnus purshiana), a species known for its medicinal properties. The compound functions primarily as an anthraquinone glycoside, exerting its mode of action through the stimulation of peristalsis in the colon. This activity is facilitated by the irritation of the intestinal mucosa, resulting from the biotransformation of the cascaroside into its active form by gut flora.
