Description

Griseofulvin is a naturally occurring antifungal antibiotic derived from the mold *Penicillium griseofulvum*. This compound is valued for its specific fungistatic activity, effectively inhibiting the growth of dermatophytes. It is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) primarily required by the pharmaceutical industry for the formulation of oral antifungal medications. Griseofulvin CAS NO 6915-11-3 is essential for treating fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in oral antifungal tablets and capsules for systemic treatment.
• Dermatophytosis Treatment: Specifically targets infections such as tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea capitis (scalp ringworm), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), and onychomycosis (nail fungus).
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in antifungal preparations for treating similar dermatophyte infections in animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and biochemical tool in microbiological and pharmacological research to study antifungal mechanisms.
• Topical Formulations: Incorporated into creams, ointments, or solutions for localized fungal infection treatment, though less common than oral administration.

Quality Control

Our Griseofulvin is manufactured and tested to meet high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. Quality is assured through rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substances, in compliance with current industry and pharmacopeial guidelines. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each batch to ensure traceability and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
