Description

Rac-Epinephrine-3-o-Sulfate is a key sulfated metabolite of the neurotransmitter epinephrine (adrenaline). This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and pharmacological research for studying catecholamine metabolism and sulfotransferase enzyme activity. It serves as a critical reference standard and intermediate for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors, particularly for analytical method development and metabolic pathway studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantification and identification of epinephrine metabolites in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) studies.
• Biochemical Research: Essential for in vitro and in vivo studies investigating the sulfation pathways of catecholamines and the function of sulfotransferase (SULT) enzymes.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as a critical calibrant and system suitability standard in advanced analytical techniques such as LC-MS/MS and HPLC for bioanalytical assays.
• Diagnostic Reagent Intermediate: Used in the development and manufacturing of diagnostic kits and reagents for measuring catecholamine levels in clinical samples.
• Neuroscience Research: Applied in studies exploring the role of sulfated catecholamines in neurological function and related disorders.
