Description

Scyllo-Inositol Hexaacetate is a fully acetylated derivative of the scyllo-inositol stereoisomer, a key building block in carbohydrate and medicinal chemistry. This high-purity intermediate is critical for research and development in advanced pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly for compounds targeting neurological pathways. It serves as a vital precursor for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors requiring specialized inositol derivatives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents, particularly those targeting neurological disorders and metabolic diseases.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in studies involving inositol phosphate signaling pathways and cellular metabolism.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a protected form of scyllo-inositol for the production of more complex, chiral molecules in asymmetric synthesis.
• Reference Standard: Employed in analytical laboratories for method development and quality control of related pharmaceutical compounds.
• Glycoconjugate Chemistry: Building block for the development of complex carbohydrates and glycoconjugates with potential biological activity.

Quality Control

Our Scyllo-Inositol Hexaacetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and pharmaceutical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 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 by atmospheric moisture.
