Alkaloid buyers working with Papaveraceae botanicals often separate pigmented benzophenanthridines from generic “herbal extract” line items. Sanguinarine (CAS 2447-54-3) is the catalog name used when the RFQ needs that specific alkaloid identity.
Technical profile first

Appearance, salt form (if any), and assay are lot-specific—use the COA. Please contact MonuoChem for the current commercial specification.
Botanical notes
Bloodroot is the common English name most frequently paired with sanguinarine in North American botanical references. Plant-part and process declarations are manufacturer-dependent and are not invented on this page.
Commercial applications (sourcing language only)
Historical and industrial literature discuss sanguinarine in oral-care and specialty botanical ingredient contexts. Market access and permitted uses vary widely; this listing does not assert finished-product legality or health claims. Treat the page as a phytochemical supply entry.
Procurement checklist
- Confirm CAS 2447-54-3 on PO and COA
- State free base vs salt if your method requires it
- Define quantity and documentation pack
