Morin (hydrate) is a high-grade reagent supplied by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries. 2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,5,7-trihydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one hydrate, Calico yellow and Aurantica are some of the other chemical names used for this reagent. It is available in the form of a crystalline solid. It is stable as long it is stored as per the recommended storage conditions. In case of prolonged exposure to heat or flammable materials, Morin (hydrate) can generate carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide as hazardous decomposition or by-products. It is incompatible with strong oxidising agents. CAS No. 654055-01-3 Quantity provided: 1 gm/bottle Molecular formula: C15H10O7.xH2O Molecular weight: 302.24 g/mol (anhydrous) Assay: Minimum 85%Morin hydrate is a flavonoid with antioxidant properties. It has been shown to protect cells against oxygen radical damage. Morin not only scavenges oxyradicals, but also moderately inhibits xanthine oxidase which is a free-radical generating enzyme. At concentrations of 75-100 micromolar, morin inhibits oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) by free radicals or Cu2+. Morin has been reported to inhibit rat brain phosphatidylinositolphosphate kinase activity, both in vitro and in vivo. Morin can be used to test for the presence of aluminium or tin in a sample solution, as it forms characteristically fluorescent coordination complexes with them.
