Description

2-C-Methyl-Myo-Inositol is a methylated derivative of myo-inositol, a key member of the cyclitol family. This compound serves as a valuable chiral building block and biochemical intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is particularly relevant for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical industries developing novel therapeutic agents and specialized biochemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting metabolic and neurological pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a crucial tool compound for studying inositol phosphate signaling pathways and related cellular processes.
• Chiral Synthesis: Serves as a versatile chiral starting material or auxiliary for the asymmetric synthesis of complex natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated for potential applications in advanced dietary supplements and functional food ingredients due to its structural relation to myo-inositol.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and validation.

Quality Control

Our 2-C-Methyl-Myo-Inositol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, and custom synthesis to meet specific purity or grade requirements (e.g., research grade, pharmaceutical intermediate grade) is available.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere to maintain product integrity.
