Description

Rhodomyrtone CAS NO 468757-69-9 is a naturally occurring acylphloroglucinol compound, a potent bioactive molecule primarily isolated from the leaves of *Rhodomyrtus tomentosa*. This compound matters for its significant and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, particularly against multi-drug resistant Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA. It is a critical material for researchers in pharmaceutical development, nutraceutical formulation, and advanced material science seeking novel antibacterial agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical R&D: As a lead compound for developing new classes of antibiotics targeting drug-resistant bacterial infections.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into formulations like creams, lotions, and cleansers for its natural preservative and anti-acne properties.
• Nutraceuticals & Functional Foods: Used in research for dietary supplements aimed at supporting immune and gastrointestinal health.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Serves as a standard or investigational agent in microbiological, biochemical, and pharmacological studies.
• Veterinary Medicine: Explored for applications in animal health to combat bacterial pathogens.
• Biomaterial Coatings: Investigated for creating antimicrobial surfaces on medical devices or packaging materials.

Quality Control

Every batch of Rhodomyrtone is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation to ensure identity, purity, and consistency for your research and development needs. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) including HPLC purity, spectral identification (IR, NMR, MS), and impurity profile is available for each lot upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term storage, keep under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and degradation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
