CAS 10439-39-1: ANTHRAQUINONE-D8

Applications Anthraquinone-D8 is a labelled analogue of Anthraquinone (A679245). Anthraquinone is commonly used as a precursor to synthesize antiviral compounds such as Hypericin (H998190). Anthraquinone and its derivatives are also used in textile dyes. References Andersen, D., et al.: Antivir.

Anthraquinone-d8 is a synthetic compound that can be used as an analytical method. It has been shown to have a matrix effect and is often used as an analog for other compounds in diagnostic procedures. In addition, it has the ability to be used in vibrational spectroscopy and fingerprinting. Anthraquinone-d8 can also be used to study the functional theory of aromatic hydrocarbons by analyzing the emission spectrum. The activation energy of anthraquinone-d8 is 3.2 kcal/mol, which is higher than that of n-hexane (1.5 kcal/mol). Anthraquinone-d8 has been shown to inhibit tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production in Pseudomonas strains, making it a potential therapeutic agent for inflammatory disorders such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
