Description

8-(Hydroxyethylamino)-Adenine is a modified nucleobase derivative, specifically an adenine analog functionalized with a hydroxyethylamino group at the 8-position. This structural modification makes it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of novel pharmaceutical compounds and biochemical research tools. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agrochemical sectors for developing nucleoside-based drugs, enzyme inhibitors, and other biologically active molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of antiviral and anticancer nucleoside analogs.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly those involving purine metabolism.
• Agrochemical Development: Serves as a precursor in the research and development of novel plant growth regulators or pesticides.
• Diagnostic Reagent Synthesis: Employed in the creation of labeled probes and reagents for molecular diagnostics.
• Material Science: Investigated for the development of functionalized polymers and smart materials with specific molecular recognition properties.

Quality Control

Our 8-(Hydroxyethylamino)-Adenine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles.

Storage

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