Description

7-Bromo-7-Demethylriboflavin is a chemically modified derivative of riboflavin (Vitamin B2), where a bromine atom replaces a methyl group at the 7-position. This structural alteration makes it a valuable biochemical tool and a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialized riboflavin analogs and enzyme inhibitors. It is primarily sought by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences sector for its role in studying flavin-dependent enzymes and developing novel biochemical probes. The compound is supplied with a focus on high purity and batch-to-batch consistency to meet rigorous research and development standards.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Critical intermediate in the synthesis of isotopically labeled or chemically modified riboflavin derivatives for metabolic studies.
• Enzyme Inhibition Studies: Used as a precursor to develop mechanism-based inhibitors for flavoenzymes, aiding in drug discovery and biochemical pathway analysis.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a building block in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents targeting flavin-dependent processes.
• Nutritional Science Research: Employed to create analogs that help elucidate the specific roles and metabolism of riboflavin in biological systems.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Potential use in formulating specialized assay components for clinical diagnostics related to vitamin status or enzyme function.
