Description

D-Glucuronic Acid Sodium Salt Monohydrate is a vital biochemical reagent and pharmaceutical intermediate, serving as the sodium salt of the oxidized form of glucose. Its primary value lies in its role as a key precursor for synthesizing vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and as a critical substrate in glucuronidation, the body's major detoxification pathway. This compound is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biochemical sectors, where it is used in drug metabolism studies, enzyme research, and the production of high-value fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial starting material in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and its derivatives.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate for enzymes like β-glucuronidase in diagnostic assays and metabolic pathway studies.
• Detoxification Studies: Employed in research on glucuronidation, the Phase II metabolic process that conjugates toxins and drugs for excretion.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into formulations for its skin-conditioning properties and as a precursor to bioactive compounds.
• Nutraceutical Production: Used in the development of specialized supplements and health products.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for HPLC and other methods.

Quality Control

Our D-Glucuronic Acid Sodium Salt Monohydrate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

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