Description

Melitracen is a tricyclic antidepressant compound of significant interest in pharmaceutical research and development. Its primary value lies in its role as a key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and a critical intermediate for synthesizing advanced neuropharmacological agents. This product is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors focused on central nervous system (CNS) therapeutics. We supply high-purity Melitracen CAS NO 5118-29-6 to support consistent and reliable production processes.

Application

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for antidepressant formulations.
• Key Chemical Intermediate in the synthesis of novel psychotropic drugs and CNS agents.
• Reference Standard for quality control and analytical testing in pharmaceutical laboratories.
• Research & Development tool for pharmacological studies and clinical trials.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis for creating specialized derivatives and metabolites.

Quality Control

Our Melitracen is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
