Resveratrol triacetate is a prodrug derivative of resveratrol with higher lipophilicity and better stability, widely applied in pharmaceutical, health care product, cosmetic and scientific research fields. As a cell-permeable prodrug, it can be hydrolyzed by esterase in vivo to release resveratrol, exerting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, cardiovascular protection and anti-tumor effects with equivalent pharmacological activity. In pharmaceutical industry, it is used for the research and development of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis and anti-tumor drugs. In health care products, it serves as an ideal substitute for resveratrol to improve metabolism and protect cardiovascular health. In cosmetics, it acts as whitening, anti-wrinkle and antioxidant active ingredient with superior light stability. It is also a common tool compound for studying cell signaling pathways and pharmaceutical formulation development. Thanks to its stable structure, good lipophilicity and excellent cell permeability, it has become an important intermediate for the research and production of high value-added fine chemicals and bioactive molecules.
This low-toxic crystalline powder may cause irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Inhalation of dust may lead to cough and sore throat. Direct skin contact may cause slight redness and itching, while eye contact will result in stinging and conjunctivitis. All operations should be carried out in a well-ventilated fume hood. Wear dust mask, chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles to avoid direct contact and dust dispersion. The product is incompatible with strong oxidants and strong alkalis, and it tends to hydrolyze in alkaline environment. Thermal decomposition or combustion will produce carbon monoxide and irritating fumes. Store in a sealed, dark and cool place, keep away from heat sources, oxidants and strong alkalis, and separate from food materials. In case of leakage, collect solid materials with inert absorbents and prevent dust from spreading. All waste and contaminated materials shall be disposed of in accordance with local hazardous waste regulations to avoid environmental pollution.
