柠檬苦素也称为柑橘柠檬苦素和吴茱萸内酯(evodin)，是存在于柑橘籽中的高浓度植物次生代谢产物。属于柠檬苦素类衍生物。 柠檬苦素可用于柑橘制品中柠檬苦素的定量测定。也可用于其他试验作为对照、标准品或竞品，或用于柠檬苦素的生理学、代谢和生物合成研究。 应用 柠檬苦素已用于： 处理人外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)，检测其对人免疫缺陷型病毒(HIV)复制的影响 研究柠檬苦素作为抗骨质疏松剂，对MC3T3-E1细胞和去卵巢(OVX)大鼠模型中成骨细胞生成活性的影响 作为高效液相色谱(HPLC)体系的参考标准品 Limonin also known as citrolimonin and evodin, is a secondary plant metabolite present in citrus seeds at high concentrations. It is a derivative of limonoids. Limonin may be used in assays to quantify limonin in citrus products. It may also be used in other assays as a control, standard, or competitor or in studies on the physiology, metabolism, and biosynthesis of limonin. Application Limonin has been used: to treat human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to test its effect on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication to test its effects as an anti-osteoporosis agent in osteoblastogenesis activity in MC3T3-E1 cells and ovariectomized (OVX) rat model as a reference standard in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system
