Description

5-Amino-6-Ribitylamino-2,4-(1H,3H)Pyrimidinedione is a key riboflavin (Vitamin B2) precursor and a vital biochemical intermediate. This compound matters for its critical role in the biosynthesis of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), essential coenzymes in numerous metabolic redox reactions. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and research sectors for the synthesis of riboflavin, specialized biochemicals, and as a reference standard in analytical applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A crucial intermediate in the commercial and research-scale synthesis of Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and its derivatives.
• Nutraceutical & Vitamin Production: Used in the manufacturing of high-purity Vitamin B2 for dietary supplements and food fortification.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key precursor in studies of flavin biosynthesis pathways and enzyme mechanisms.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in HPLC and LC-MS methods for quality control of riboflavin and related compounds.
• Enzyme Cofactor Studies: Utilized in research to investigate the role and regeneration of FMN and FAD coenzymes in cellular metabolism.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: A building block for the synthesis of more complex flavin analogs and labeled compounds for research.

Quality Control

Our 5-Amino-6-Ribitylamino-2,4-(1H,3H)Pyrimidinedione is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards suitable for pharmaceutical and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
