Description

Ribose (9Ci) CAS NO 34466-20-1 is a fundamental pentose monosaccharide, a key building block in biochemistry and industrial synthesis. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a precursor for nucleosides, nucleotides, and various high-value fine chemicals. This product is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biotechnology sectors requiring a reliable, high-purity source of D-ribose for synthesis and formulation.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Critical starting material for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs, antiviral drugs (e.g., Ribavirin), and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used in formulations aimed at supporting cellular energy production (ATP synthesis) and athletic performance recovery.
• Biochemical Research & Diagnostics: Serves as a substrate, standard, or component in enzymatic assays, cell culture media, and diagnostic kit manufacturing.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Employed as a precursor in the Maillard reaction for creating natural flavoring compounds and process flavors.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its potential humectant and cell-renewal properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: A versatile chiral building block for the production of specialty chemicals, catalysts, and ligands in asymmetric synthesis.

Quality Control

Our Ribose (9Ci) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets exacting specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with relevant standards, including in-process controls for pharmaceutical-grade material, are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
