Product Information

• Name: all-trans-Anhydro retinol
• Synonyms: (6E)-6-[(2E,4E,6E)-3,7-Dimethyl-2,4,6,8-nonatetraen-1-ylidene]-1,5,5-trimethylcyclohexene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: All-trans-Anhydro retinol is a retinoid that is biologically active as an antioxidant, with reactive properties. It has been shown to be photodecomposable in the presence of light, and it reacts rapidly with nucleophiles. All-trans-Anhydro retinol can be used as a model system for biological studies on the mechanisms of mitochondrial membrane potential and transfer reactions. All-trans-Anhydro retinol has been shown to decrease mitochondrial membrane potential in rat liver microsomes and inhibit fatty acid synthesis in liver cells, while also being a synthetic analog of all-trans retinoic acid.
