ChEBI: Retinyl acetate is an acetate ester. It is functionally related to an all-trans-retinol. | [General Description]
Retinyl acetate is suitable(127-47-9) for use in the retention identification of the analyte when using HPLC and GC. Not intended for use as an activity reference standard. It has been thoroughly evaluated to ensure the utmost quality. Neat, unless otherwise noted. Certificate of Composition provided with the purchase.
| [Flammability and Explosibility]
Notclassified | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Retinyl esters provide pools of vitamin A that are converted into retinol and other retinoids as required. Retinyl acetate is used in a wide range of biological applications. It acts as a chemopreventive agent. Retinyl acetate also has antineoplastic property. | [Purification Methods]
The acetate is separated from retinol by column chromatography, then crystallised from MeOH. [Kofler and Rubin Vitamins and Hormones (NY) 18 315 1960 for purification methods]. Store it in the dark, under N2 or Ar, at 0o. [Beilstein 6 IV 4135.] |
