Adrenochrome

Description:

Adrenochrome is a chemical compound derived from the oxidation of adrenaline (epinephrine). It is classified as a chromone and is known for its distinctive reddish-brown color. The molecular formula of adrenochrome is C9H9N3O3, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 189.19 g/mol. This compound is primarily studied in the context of its potential effects on the human body, particularly in relation to mental health and neurochemistry. Adrenochrome has been associated with various theories and myths, often linked to its purported psychoactive properties, although scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited. In laboratory settings, adrenochrome can be synthesized through the oxidation of adrenaline using various oxidizing agents. It is important to note that while adrenochrome has garnered attention in popular culture and conspiracy theories, its actual pharmacological significance remains a topic of debate within the scientific community. As with any chemical substance, proper handling and safety precautions are essential when working with adrenochrome in research or industrial applications.

D,L-Adrenochrome - 98%

CAS: 54-06-8

D,L-adrenochrome is a chemical species that is not found in nature. It is synthesized by the oxidation of adrenochrome by sodium citrate and purified by recrystallization. D,L-adrenochrome has been shown to be a potent cytotoxic agent against rat cardiomyocytes. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of cells in culture, which may be due to its ability to interfere with the uptake of adenine nucleotides and calcium binding.

CAS: 54-06-8

Adrenochrome, or 3-Hydroxy-1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5,6-dione is synthesized through the oxidation of epinephrine. The compound was studied in the 1950's in relation to a possible role in schizophrenia, which has been widely discredited. Believed to be cardiotoxic, adrenochrome has no current applications.
