Description

Geranylgeraniol is a key acyclic diterpene alcohol, a vital building block in the biosynthesis of numerous biologically significant compounds. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a direct precursor in the synthesis of vitamins, coenzymes, and other terpenoids. This high-purity intermediate is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical sectors requiring reliable, scalable raw materials for complex synthesis pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Critical precursor in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) and Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone).
• Nutraceutical Synthesis: Used in the production of high-value dietary supplements, including Vitamin K2 formulations.
• Fine Chemical Building Block: Serves as a versatile starting material for the synthesis of other diterpenoids, fragrances, and flavor compounds.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in studies of protein prenylation, cell signaling pathways, and isoprenoid biosynthesis.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Potential use in the synthesis of bioactive, skin-conditioning agents for advanced cosmetic formulations.

Quality Control

Our Geranylgeraniol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with REACH, FDA guidelines for drug intermediates, and other relevant global regulatory frameworks as required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and prolong shelf life. Keep away from heat and open flames. The container must be kept tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
