CAS 490-59-5: Alloxazine

Description: Alloxazine, with the CAS number 490-59-5, is a heterocyclic compound that belongs to the class of flavins, which are known for their role as coenzymes in biological systems. It features a fused bicyclic structure that includes a pyrimidine and an isoalloxazine moiety. Alloxazine is characterized by its ability to undergo redox reactions, making it a potential electron carrier in various biochemical processes. It exhibits strong absorption in the ultraviolet-visible spectrum, which is attributed to its conjugated system, allowing it to participate in light-driven reactions. The compound is soluble in polar solvents and has been studied for its photochemical properties and potential applications in photobiology and as a photosensitizer. Additionally, alloxazine derivatives have been explored for their roles in enzyme catalysis and as fluorescent probes in biochemical assays. Its structural similarity to riboflavin (vitamin B2) highlights its importance in biological systems, particularly in relation to electron transport and energy metabolism.
