Description

Chanoclavine is a significant ergot alkaloid, a class of compounds known for their complex biological activities and structural diversity. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate in the biosynthesis of more complex ergot alkaloids and is a valuable reference standard in research. It is primarily sought after by professionals in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science research sectors. Its defined structure makes it essential for analytical method development, metabolic studies, and the synthesis of novel derivatives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a key biosynthetic precursor and reference standard for studying ergot alkaloid pathways and pharmacology.
• Biochemical Research: Used in enzymatic studies to investigate the biosynthesis of complex indole alkaloids.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS method development and calibration.
• Academic Research: A vital tool in university and institutional labs for studying natural product chemistry and neurochemical interactions.
• Standards Manufacturing: Used by companies that produce certified reference standards for global distribution to quality control laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Chanoclavine is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with relevant research and development standards, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

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