CAS 23444-65-7: Alkannin

Description:Alkannin is a naturally occurring naphthoquinone compound primarily derived from the roots of the Alkanna tinctoria plant, commonly known as alkanet. It is characterized by its deep red to purple color, which makes it a valuable dye in various applications, including cosmetics and food products. Alkannin exhibits antioxidant properties and has been studied for its potential therapeutic effects, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical structure features a naphthalene ring system with a hydroxyl group and a carbonyl group, contributing to its reactivity and biological activity. Alkannin is often used in traditional medicine and has garnered interest in modern pharmacology for its potential health benefits. Due to its natural origin and bioactive properties, it is considered a promising candidate for further research in the fields of natural product chemistry and pharmacognosy.
