S-Equol

Bulk supplier | (S)-equol; (-)-S-equol | CAS 531-95-3 | chiral isoflavan metabolite | pathgene

S-Equol is the (3S) enantiomer of equol, a hydroxyisoflavan metabolite associated with soy-isoflavone metabolism. CAS 531-95-3, formula C15H14O3 and molecular weight 242.27 g/mol are supported by the pathgene COA and PubChem. It is supplied for formulation development, analytical work and research on estrogen-receptor ligand systems; the S form should not be presented as equivalent to racemic equol.

Why the S form matters

S-Equol is relevant to products and studies that require a defined single enantiomer, including chiral identity work, receptor-binding research and formulation screening. In a development program, the practical qualification questions are enantiomeric identity, assay, residual solvent and physical stability rather than a generic equol label.

Why it fits: The molecule has a stereocenter and public records identify CAS 531-95-3 with the S configuration. A racemate or an unspecified equol source may have a different enantiomeric composition, so the raw material choice can affect analytical comparability and formulation claims.

Product distinction

S-Equol is distinct from racemic equol and from the R enantiomer. The reviewed COA reports specific optical rotation, but it does not establish a universal enantiomeric-purity specification; buyers should request the chiral method when that attribute is required.

Technical selection points

·        The reviewed batch passed infrared identification and solution clarity/color checks.

·        Purity and dry-basis assay were both 99.9% in the reviewed batch.

·        The COA records melting point 189°C and specific rotation -22° under its stated test condition.

Selection note: For a single-enantiomer product, specify CAS 531-95-3 and request the chiral purity method in addition to the routine assay. Use the historical optical-rotation result as batch evidence, not as a universal release promise.

Application boundary

Research findings and chemical function explain why this material may fit a development program; they do not establish a treatment effect, a recommended human dose or government approval. Finished-product suitability remains dependent on the intended market and formulation.
