The product we are introducing is Factory Supply 4-Methylumbelliferone with the CAS number 90 - 33 - 5. 4 - Methylumbelliferone, also known as 4 - methyl - 7 - hydroxycoumarin, is a fluorescent compound. It has a molecular formula of C₁₀H₈O₃ and a molecular weight of approximately 176.17 g/mol.
Physically, it appears as a white to light yellow crystalline powder. It has specific melting and boiling points, with a melting point typically around 188 - 190°C. This product is supplied at a low price, which makes it an attractive option for various applications in both research and industrial fields.
4 - Methylumbelliferone has a wide range of applications. In the field of biochemistry and biology, it is commonly used as a fluorescent probe. Due to its strong fluorescence properties, it can be used to label biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. This allows researchers to track and study the movement and interactions of these molecules within cells or biological systems.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it can serve as a starting material for the synthesis of various drugs. It may also have potential therapeutic effects itself, as some studies have explored its anti - inflammatory and anti - oxidative properties. Additionally, in the field of materials science, it can be incorporated into polymer materials to endow them with fluorescent properties, which can be used for optical sensors or anti - counterfeiting applications.
When using 4 - Methylumbelliferone, first, it is necessary to handle it with appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. For laboratory use, it is usually dissolved in a suitable solvent. Common solvents include ethanol, methanol, or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The solubility of 4 - Methylumbelliferone in these solvents may vary, and it is recommended to refer to relevant solubility data for accurate preparation.
When using it as a fluorescent probe, it needs to be conjugated with the target biological molecule through appropriate chemical reactions. The reaction conditions, such as pH, temperature, and reaction time, should be strictly controlled according to the specific experimental requirements. In industrial applications, the dosage and process parameters need to be adjusted according to the production scale and product requirements.
Case 1: In a cell biology research project, a research group wanted to study the internalization process of a specific protein in cells. They used 4 - Methylumbelliferone to label the protein. First, they dissolved 4 - Methylumbelliferone in DMSO to prepare a stock solution. Then, through a series of chemical reactions, they covalently linked it to the target protein. The labeled protein was then added to the cell culture medium. By using fluorescence microscopy, they were able to clearly observe the uptake and intracellular distribution of the protein over time, which provided important insights into the protein's function.
Case 2: A pharmaceutical company was developing a new anti - inflammatory drug. They used 4 - Methylumbelliferone as a starting material in the synthesis process. Through a multi - step chemical synthesis, they successfully obtained a new compound with enhanced anti - inflammatory activity. The low - cost supply of 4 - Methylumbelliferone helped to reduce the overall production cost of the drug, making it more competitive in the market.
