Description

Dl-Goitrin CAS NO 500-12-9 is a sulfur-containing organic compound classified as a goitrogen. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and pharmaceutical research due to its role as a precursor in the biosynthesis of certain thyroid hormone inhibitors. It serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences sector, particularly those focused on endocrinology and metabolic pathway studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research Intermediate: Used as a key synthetic precursor or building block in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting thyroid function.
• Biochemical Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry for the quantification and identification of goitrogenic compounds in research samples.
• Endocrinology Studies: Utilized in in vitro and in vivo research models to study the mechanisms of thyroid hormone synthesis inhibition and related metabolic disorders.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Acts as a tool compound for investigating sulfur metabolism and the biosynthesis pathways of natural goitrogens found in certain food sources.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Serves as a vital reagent for universities, contract research organizations (CROs), and biotechnology companies engaged in metabolic disease research.
