Description

3-Nonaprenyl-4-Hydroxybenzoate is a specialized polyprenylated phenolic compound, a derivative of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid with a long-chain nonaprenyl substituent. This structural feature makes it a compound of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis and biochemical research, particularly for studying lipid-soluble antioxidants and membrane-associated processes. It serves as a critical intermediate or reference standard for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical sectors seeking to develop or analyze compounds with enhanced bioavailability and targeted activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting oxidative stress or requiring lipophilic character for cell membrane penetration.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a reference standard or probe in studies of antioxidant mechanisms, lipid peroxidation, and the function of prenylated phenolics in biological systems.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated as a potential high-value ingredient or precursor for advanced dietary supplements focusing on cellular health and antioxidant support.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block for creating complex organic molecules with specific chain length and hydrophobicity for specialty chemical applications.
• Cosmeceutical Research: Explored for potential use in premium skincare formulations aimed at protecting skin lipids from oxidative damage due to its polyprenyl structure.

Quality Control

Our 3-Nonaprenyl-4-Hydroxybenzoate is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and development. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with relevant standards for research chemicals and can provide material for qualification under cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical development upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The compound is light-sensitive (store away from light) and may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers should be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
