Description

Coenzyme Q5 CAS NO 4370-61-0 is a vital benzoquinone derivative and a specific member of the ubiquinone family, serving as an essential electron carrier in the respiratory chain of certain microorganisms and fungi. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a critical biochemical reagent and a key intermediate for research into mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and the biosynthesis of higher homologues like Coenzyme Q10. This compound is particularly sought after by manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science research sectors for developing analytical standards, enzyme studies, and metabolic pathway investigations.

Application

• Biochemical Research Reagent: Used as a standard and substrate in studies of electron transport chains, oxidative phosphorylation, and mitochondrial bioenergetics.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthetic precursor or reference compound in the research and development of therapeutic agents targeting metabolic disorders.
• Nutraceutical Research: Employed in comparative studies and biosynthesis research related to the Coenzyme Q family, including CoQ10 production.
• Enzymology Studies: Acts as a cofactor or inhibitor in specific enzymatic assays to study quinone-dependent reductases and dehydrogenases.
• Microbiological Applications: Used in culture media or metabolic studies for microorganisms that utilize CoQ5 as their primary respiratory quinone.
• Analytical Standard: Provides a high-purity reference material for quality control and quantification in HPLC, LC-MS, or other analytical methods.
