Description

Cytisine CAS NO 485-35-8 is a naturally occurring quinolizidine alkaloid with a high affinity for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This compound is of significant commercial and research interest due to its pharmacological activity as a partial agonist, making it a key material in the development of smoking cessation aids and neurological research. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutions, and developers of nutraceutical products seeking a plant-derived bioactive compound.

Application

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in smoking cessation therapies and products.
• Reference standard and building block in pharmaceutical research and development for neurological targets.
• Key intermediate for the synthesis of more complex nicotinic receptor ligands.
• Biochemical research tool for studying nicotinic acetylcholine receptor function and signaling pathways.
• Starting material for the production of analytical standards and diagnostic reagents.
• Potential ingredient in botanical and nutraceutical formulations (subject to regional regulatory approval).

Quality Control

Our cytisine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity standards, including pharmaceutical development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
