Description

Bilirubin Xyloside is a chemically modified derivative of bilirubin, a key bile pigment, where a xylose sugar moiety is attached. This specific glycosylation enhances its solubility profile and alters its biochemical interactions, making it a valuable reference standard and research chemical. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors for metabolic studies, analytical method development, and as a precursor in specialized synthesis.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard in studies of bilirubin metabolism, conjugation, and transport mechanisms.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a high-purity calibrant or internal standard for HPLC, LC-MS, or spectrophotometric analysis of bile pigments.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigated as a potential intermediate or model compound in the development of novel therapeutic agents or diagnostic probes.
• Enzymology Studies: Employed as a substrate to study the activity and kinetics of glycosyltransferase enzymes.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: A tool for tracing and understanding the catabolic and conjugation pathways of heme derivatives in biological systems.
