CAS 7069-42-3: Retinyl propionate

Retinyl propionate is a fatty acid that is used as a sample preparation for copper-complexed collagen. The matrix effect of retinyl propionate can be seen in the skin cells, bone cells, and cartilage tissue. Retinyl propionate has been shown to increase calcium pantothenate transport rates in human serum and also has a film-forming polymer effect.

Vitamin A Propionate, an ester derivative of vitamin A, exhibits varying effects on growth, serum biochemistry, and hematological indices in foal nutrition studies depending on the dosage administered. Both excessively high and low doses lead to adverse impacts. These effects are correlated with the concentrations of vitamin A in the plasma, liver, and kidneys.

Retinyl propionate is a fine chemical that is a versatile building block in the synthesis of complex compounds. It is also used as a reagent for research into the nature of chemical reactions, and as a speciality chemical. Retinyl propionate has many uses, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other useful compounds. Retinyl propionate can be used to produce high quality retinol esters.
