Basic Information
Product Name: Apigenin
CAS Number: 520-36-5
Alias: 4',5,7-Trihydroxyflavone
Molecular Formula: C15H10O5
Molecular Weight: 270.24 g/mol
Structural Information
- Structure Type: Natural flavonoid compound, a typical flavone derivative.
- Structural Features: Contains three phenolic hydroxyl groups on the flavone parent ring with complete conjugated aromatic system. The special molecular structure endows it with strong antioxidant activity and diversified biological functions.
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Appearance: Light yellow crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Melting Point: 347 - 350 °C (decomposition)
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in hot water, ethanol, methanol, acetone and dilute alkaline solution; insoluble in ether, chloroform, benzene and petroleum ether
- Stability: Relatively stable under dry, cool and dark conditions. Easy to oxidize and discolor when exposed to strong light, high temperature or air for a long time. Avoid contact with strong oxidants.
Synthesis & Applications
Synthesis Method
Mainly extracted and purified from natural plants such as parsley, celery, chamomile and honeysuckle. Industrial production can also adopt chemical synthesis routes. Raw materials undergo cyclization, hydroxylation and other reactions, then refined by recrystallization to obtain high-purity products.
Main Applications
- Pharmaceutical industry: Important pharmaceutical intermediate. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-tumor activities, widely used in new drug research and development.
- Health care products: Common raw material for dietary supplements, applied for regulating immunity, relieving inflammation and anti-oxidation.
- Food industry: Used as natural food antioxidant and preservative to extend food shelf life.
- Cosmetics: Added into skin care products to remove free radicals, soothe skin and delay aging.
Safety & Storage Instructions
- Hazard Classification: Low toxicity, no obvious irritation to skin and mucous membranes under normal operation
- Personal Protection: Wear dust mask and chemical resistant gloves when handling powder. Prevent dust inhalation and direct contact with eyes.
- Storage Condition: Keep containers tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry, dark and well-ventilated environment at room temperature. Keep away from heat sources, direct sunlight and oxidizing substances.
- Transportation: Regarded as general chemical goods without dangerous goods restrictions. Prevent package damage, dampness and light exposure during transportation.
Quality & Spectral Data
- Purity (HPLC): ≥98.0% / ≥99.0%
- Loss on Drying: ≤1.0%
- Residue on Ignition: ≤0.2%
