Description

Trichodiene CAS NO 28624-60-4 is a highly volatile sesquiterpene hydrocarbon that serves as a key biosynthetic precursor to trichothecene mycotoxins. Its significance lies in its role as a crucial intermediate for research into fungal metabolism, toxin biosynthesis, and the development of analytical standards for food safety and agricultural science. This compound is primarily needed by researchers and quality control laboratories in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food safety sectors, as well as by manufacturers of reference materials and fine chemical intermediates.

Application

• Biochemical Research Intermediate: A critical precursor in the study of trichothecene mycotoxin biosynthesis pathways in fungi such as *Fusarium* species.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used for the identification, method development, and quantification of trichothecenes in food, feed, and environmental samples via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in studies aimed at understanding fungal pathogenesis and developing strategies for mycotoxin control in crops.
• Phytochemical Studies: Investigated for its role in plant-fungus interactions and as a marker compound in the metabolomic profiling of fungi.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a specialized building block for the synthesis of more complex sesquiterpenoid compounds in organic chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Trichodiene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research applications. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity and purity, with comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) provided. While produced as a research-grade chemical, our quality systems are designed to support work requiring high-purity reference materials and intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at recommended temperatures of 2-8°C. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes.
