Riboflavin, α8-hydroxy-

Description:

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and the maintenance of healthy skin, eyes, and nerve functions. The specific compound identified by the CAS number 52134-62-0, referred to as α8-hydroxy-riboflavin, is a derivative of riboflavin that features a hydroxyl group at the 8-position of the riboflavin structure. This modification can influence its biological activity and solubility. Riboflavin itself is characterized by its yellow-orange color and is sensitive to light, which can lead to degradation. It is commonly found in foods such as eggs, dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fortified cereals. In addition to its nutritional importance, riboflavin serves as a precursor for the coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which are essential for various enzymatic reactions in the body. Overall, riboflavin and its derivatives are vital for maintaining metabolic processes and overall health.
