Documented Uses

• Ranunculin, a glucoside, serves as a chemotaxonomic marker in Ranunculaceae plants. When these plants are damaged, β-glucosidase triggers the conversion of ranunculin into protoanemonin through hydrolysis. Subsequently, protoanemonin undergoes cyclodimerization to form anemonin. The inherent instability of ranunculin and the rapid dimerization of protoanemonin make them unsuitable for use in biological assays. Anemonin stands out as the optimal molecule for bioassays and demonstrates diverse biological properties,
