CAS 83-88-5: Riboflavin
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. It is a yellow-orange crystalline compound with the chemical formula C17H20N4O6 and a molecular weight of approximately 376.37 g/mol. Riboflavin is sensitive to light and can degrade when exposed to ultraviolet light, which is why it is often stored in opaque containers. It is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol, but insoluble in fats and oils. Riboflavin is essential for the conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy, as it is a precursor to the coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Deficiency in riboflavin can lead to symptoms such as sore throat, redness and swelling of the lining of the mouth and throat, cracks on the outsides of the lips (cheilosis), and inflammation and redness of the tongue (magenta tongue). It is commonly found in foods such as eggs, dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fortified cereals.
