CAS 22879-79-4: Biotin

Description: Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble B-vitamin that plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, particularly in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It serves as a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes, which are essential for the synthesis of fatty acids and the gluconeogenesis pathway. Biotin is characterized by its molecular formula C10H16N2O3S, and it features a bicyclic structure that includes a ureido ring and a thiophene ring. This compound is naturally found in a variety of foods, including eggs, nuts, seeds, and certain vegetables, and is also produced by intestinal bacteria. Biotin deficiency, although rare, can lead to symptoms such as hair loss, skin rashes, and neurological issues. It is often used as a dietary supplement to support hair, skin, and nail health. Biotin is generally considered safe, with a low toxicity profile, and is recognized for its importance in maintaining overall metabolic health.
