Description

Pederin CAS NO 27973-72-4 is a potent, naturally occurring amide toxin originally isolated from certain beetles of the genus *Paederus*. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical research and pharmaceutical development due to its powerful biological activity. It serves as a critical reference standard and a key intermediate for researchers and developers in the fields of pharmacology, toxicology, and medicinal chemistry.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a high-purity reference standard for studying vesicant (blistering) agents, cellular toxicity mechanisms, and DNA synthesis inhibition.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a key intermediate or a lead compound in the synthesis and development of novel therapeutic agents, particularly in oncology research.
• Toxicology Studies: Employed in controlled laboratory settings to investigate dermal toxicity, understand poison mechanisms, and develop antidotes or protective treatments.
• Academic Research: Utilized in university and institutional labs for chemical biology studies, exploring structure-activity relationships (SAR) of complex natural products.
• Analytical Standard: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for the accurate identification and quantification of pederin in complex matrices using techniques like HPLC and LC-MS.

Quality Control

Our Pederin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, essential for research integrity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles as determined by advanced analytical methods. We are committed to meeting the stringent requirements of research and development laboratories worldwide.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere conditions.
