Description

Retinylglucose CAS NO 29880-05-5 is a glycosylated derivative of retinol (vitamin A), representing a sophisticated molecule at the intersection of retinoid and carbohydrate chemistry. This compound is valued for its potential role as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of novel bioactive molecules and advanced delivery systems. It is primarily sought by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced cosmetic ingredient sectors for applications requiring targeted retinoid activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of novel retinoid-based drug candidates and prodrugs designed for improved bioavailability and targeted delivery.
• Advanced Cosmetic Actives: Used in the development of next-generation anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating formulations, where the glucose moiety may enhance skin penetration or provide a stabilizing effect.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient Synthesis: Acts as a building block for creating specialized vitamin A derivatives with potential enhanced stability or specific metabolic pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in studies investigating retinoid metabolism, glycosylation processes, and receptor interactions.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in fine chemical synthesis for producing labeled compounds or other structurally modified retinoids for diagnostic and research purposes.

Quality Control

Our Retinylglucose is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), and specific tests for related substances. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or as specified on the label. This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and potency.
