Chlorophorin(CAS#537-41-7)
Introduction
Chlorophorin(Chlorophorin) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C26H38O6Cl6. It has a yellow-green crystal morphology and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol and dichloromethane.
Chlorophorin is commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. Its presence can promote the oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes to generate the corresponding ketone compounds. In addition, Chlorophorin can also be used in other reactions of organic synthesis, such as esterification, etherification, etc.
The preparation method of Chlorophorin is generally obtained by synthesis. A common method is to react a long-chain alkene with sodium hypochlorite in chloroform to produce a transition state intermediate of Chlorophorin, followed by dechlorination to give Chlorophorin.
in the use and storage of Chlorophorin need to pay attention to its safety. Because Chlorophorin is corrosive and irritating, direct contact with skin and eyes should be avoided when using it. At the same time, in the storage process should be sealed, away from the fire and oxidant, to avoid contact with combustibles. In case of accidental contact or ingestion, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
Application
Chlorophorin (CAS 537-41-7) is a bioactive natural geranylated stilbenoid (C₂₄H₂₈O₄) isolated from Chlorophora excelsa (African Iroko) heartwood. As a potent and selective tyrosinase inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 2.5 ± 0.408 μM), it suppresses α-MSH‑induced melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells via direct melanocortin receptor antagonism, making it a valuable cosmetic ingredient standard for skin‑brightening and hyperpigmentation therapy. It also exerts anti‑inflammatory activity by modulating the Nrf2 and NF‑κB pathways. Chlorophorin exhibits broad‑spectrum antimicrobial efficacy, with potent anti‑protozoal activity against Leishmania (MIC = 0.25 μg/mL) and strong antibacterial effects against S. pneumoniae. In agriculture, it reduces mycotoxin production (FB1 reduction up to 94%) and inhibits fungal pathogens, offering a natural alternative to synthetic fungicides.
