Description

6-Aminoriboflavin is a chemically modified derivative of riboflavin (Vitamin B2), characterized by the substitution of an amino group at the 6-position of its isoalloxazine ring system. This structural modification is of significant interest for the development of novel biochemical probes and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the life sciences sector for applications in enzymology, metabolic pathway studies, and the synthesis of advanced therapeutic agents.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a precursor or intermediate in the study of flavoenzyme mechanisms and cofactor biosynthesis.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates and targeted therapies.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Employed as a tracer or analog in research investigating vitamin B2-dependent metabolic processes.
• Enzyme Inhibition Studies: Acts as a potential inhibitor or modulator for specific flavin-dependent enzymes in biochemical assays.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Utilized in the formulation of specialized reagents for clinical and research diagnostics.
• Nutritional Science Research: Investigated for its role and effects as an analog of riboflavin in experimental models.

Quality Control

Our 6-Aminoriboflavin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

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.
