Description

Versicolorinb is a specialized fungal metabolite and polyketide-derived compound. This high-purity intermediate is significant for its role in the biosynthesis of aflatoxins and as a reference standard in mycotoxin research. It is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in toxicology studies, analytical method development, and the synthesis of complex natural products.

Application

• Mycotoxin Research & Reference Standard: Serves as a critical analytical standard for the identification and quantification of aflatoxin precursors in food, feed, and environmental samples.
• Biochemical Pathway Studies: Used to investigate the biosynthetic pathways of fungal secondary metabolites, particularly in Aspergillus species.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a key building block or intermediate in the research and development of novel compounds and inhibitors targeting fungal metabolism.
• Toxicology & Safety Assessment: Employed in studies to understand the mechanisms of toxicity and the metabolic activation of mycotoxins.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Utilized in universities and research labs for fundamental studies in organic chemistry, mycology, and food safety.

Quality Control

Our Versicolorinb is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant guidelines for reference standard materials to support reliable and reproducible scientific results.

Storage

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