Description

3-Dehydroretinol Palmitate is a high-purity esterified derivative of Vitamin A, specifically the palmitate ester of 3-dehydroretinol (Vitamin A2). This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to its retinol counterpart, making it a critical ingredient in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-end cosmetic industries for research and product development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in the development of novel retinoid-based therapies.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: A key component in specialized dietary supplements targeting vision health and cellular regeneration, leveraging its Vitamin A2 activity.
• Advanced Cosmetic Science: Used in premium anti-aging and skin-rejuvenation serums and creams for its potential effects on skin cell differentiation and proliferation.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a crucial reagent in studies of retinoid metabolism, visual cycle biochemistry, and gene regulation.
• Analytical Standard: Employed as a high-purity calibration standard in HPLC and LC-MS methods for quality control and assay development in related products.

Quality Control

Our 3-Dehydroretinol Palmitate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, UV), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and formulation use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or refrigerated (2-8°C) as specified. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air, light, or heat should be avoided to maintain stability and potency.
