Diosgenin is the important basic raw material of steroid hormone drugs. Steroid hormone has strong pharmacological effects of anti-infection, anti-allergic, anti-virus and anti-shock, it is important medicine to treat rheumatism, cardiovascular, lymphatic leukemia, cell encephalitis, skin diseases and tumor and to save critical patients; It is raw material of acetate dehydropregnenolone which is the important intermediates of steroid hormone drugs and through it all kinds of steroid drugs can be synthesized, such as hydrocortisone, prednisone, norethindrone, fluocinolone, dexamethasone and so on.
Diosgenin is called medicinal gold in pharmaceutical industry, the medicinal value is very high and the uses are broad. Chinese Diosgenin is steady growing basic materials of hormone in the world, Chinahas been in dominant and monopolistic position. The diosgenin extracted from turmeric is important basic raw material in pharmaceutical industry to synthesize hormone, it can be used in synthesis of intermediates including dienes and 16,17-a-Epoxyprogesterone , it’s also the starting material of bulk drug hormone, such as progestin, prednisone acetate, budesonide, methyl testosterone, cyproterone, androstendione, betamethasone, dehydroisoandrosterone and others .These drugs are used widely.
Shanghai Seebio provides a variety of diosgenin and derivatives including steroid hormone products in different specification, we will dedicate to serve for all the customers.
