Description

6-Ethylflavone is a synthetic derivative of the naturally occurring flavone class of compounds, characterized by the introduction of an ethyl group at the 6-position. This structural modification enhances its lipophilicity and stability, making it a valuable intermediate and reference standard for advanced research and development. It is primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical industries for applications in drug discovery, biochemical research, and as a precursor for synthesizing more complex bioactive molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents targeting inflammation, cancer, and neurological disorders.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and probe in enzymatic studies, receptor binding assays, and metabolic pathway analysis.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated for its potential bioactive properties in the formulation of advanced dietary supplements.
• Flavonoid Chemistry Studies: Acts as a model compound for studying structure-activity relationships (SAR) within the flavone family.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a precursor for creating specialized chemicals used in agrochemicals and material science.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential for discovery programs in medicinal chemistry and life sciences.

Quality Control

Our 6-Ethylflavone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere for long-term storage). Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
