Description

8-Methylamino-Riboflavin is a chemically modified derivative of riboflavin (Vitamin B2), distinguished by the substitution of a methylamino group at the 8-position. This structural modification is significant for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced pharmaceutical compounds and research-grade biochemicals. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science sectors for applications in drug development, metabolic studies, and as a specialized biochemical reagent.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical building block in the synthesis of novel riboflavin analogs and targeted therapeutic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a specialized substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly those involving flavoproteins and metabolic pathways.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a precursor for developing advanced vitamin formulations with modified bioavailability or activity.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of reagents for clinical diagnostics and research assay kits.
• Metabolism Studies: Applied in research to investigate vitamin metabolism, transport mechanisms, and cofactor functions.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 8-Methylamino-Riboflavin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are provided to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a 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. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
