lumiflavine 3-acetic acid sodium

Description:

Lumiflavine 3-acetic acid sodium, identified by its CAS number 20227-26-3, is a sodium salt derivative of lumiflavine, which is a form of riboflavin (vitamin B2). This compound exhibits characteristics typical of flavin derivatives, including a yellow to orange color, which is attributed to its conjugated double bond system. It is soluble in water, making it suitable for various biological and pharmaceutical applications. Lumiflavine and its derivatives are known for their role in biological systems, particularly in redox reactions and as coenzymes in metabolic pathways. The presence of the acetic acid moiety enhances its solubility and may influence its biological activity. As a sodium salt, it is expected to dissociate in solution, contributing to its ionic nature. This compound may be utilized in research settings, particularly in studies related to flavin biochemistry, photochemistry, and potential therapeutic applications. However, specific safety and handling guidelines should be followed, as with all chemical substances.

Lumiflavin-3-acetic acid

CAS: 20227-26-3

Lumiflavin-3-acetic acid is a dietary supplement that has been shown to enhance the rate of carboxylation of tryptophan by its conversion to 5-hydroxytryptophan. This compound is a flavin and can be used as an electron acceptor in techniques involving carbanion formation. Lumiflavin-3-acetic acid is not sensitive to diketones, making it an insensitive reagent for the detection of this class of compounds. It also has a constant kinetic constant and can be used as a supplement in uncatalyzed reactions due to its lack of reactivity with proton transfer. This molecule also has nuclear polarization properties, which allow it to be used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
