Description

5-Methylangelicin is a synthetic derivative of the natural furocoumarin angelicin, characterized by its specific methyl substitution. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and for its potential in photobiological research. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical development companies engaged in the study of psoralen analogs and novel therapeutic agents. The material is supplied with a focus on high purity and batch-to-batch consistency to meet rigorous research and development standards.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research Intermediate: Serves as a critical building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those exploring photochemotherapy pathways.
• Photobiology Studies: Used in academic and industrial research to investigate the interaction of furocoumarin derivatives with DNA under UV-A light.
• Chemical Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in HPLC and LC-MS methods for quality control and metabolic studies.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a specialized precursor for creating more complex heterocyclic compounds and libraries for screening.

Quality Control

Our 5-Methylangelicin is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high chemical purity and structural integrity. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity determination and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, MS) for identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research specifications.

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 nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption. Handle and store in accordance with good laboratory practices.
