1-Hydroxy-8-methoxy-3-methyl-9,10-anthracenedione

Description:

1-Hydroxy-8-methoxy-3-methyl-9,10-anthracenedione, also known as "rubiadin," is an organic compound belonging to the anthraquinone family. It features a polycyclic aromatic structure with hydroxyl, methoxy, and methyl substituents, which contribute to its chemical properties and biological activities. This compound is characterized by its bright orange to red color, typical of many anthraquinones, and exhibits strong UV-Vis absorbance due to its conjugated system. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. Rubiadin has garnered interest for its potential applications in dyeing, as well as its pharmacological properties, including antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The presence of hydroxyl and methoxy groups enhances its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. As with many anthraquinones, it may also exhibit fluorescence, making it useful in various analytical applications. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
