Chemical researchers and formulators frequently turn to 7-Hydroxycoumarin (also called umbelliferone) for its unique photophysical properties and potential therapeutic benefits. A naturally occurring derivative of coumarin, 7-Hydroxycoumarin features a hydroxyl group at the 7-position on the benzopyrone ring, granting it fluorescent characteristics that are valuable in analytical and biomedical applications. At Aneeva Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., we specialize in supplying high-purity 7-Hydroxycoumarin, ensuring consistent performance for fluorescence assays, sunscreen formulations, and pharmaceutical explorations.
In analytical chemistry, 7-Hydroxycoumarin is prized for its strong fluorescence emission around 450 nm when excited near 325 nm. Researchers leverage this property for tracing biomolecules, labeling proteins, or detecting enzyme activity in real time. As a fluorophore, it provides a reliable signal with good photostability, making it ideal for high-throughput screening assays. Laboratories sourcing 7-Hydroxycoumarin from Aneeva Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. benefit from materials that undergo rigorous purity checks (including spectroscopic verification), guaranteeing minimal background noise in sensitive fluorescence measurements.
Cosmetics and personal care industries also utilize 7-Hydroxycoumarin for its UV-absorbing properties. When incorporated into sunscreen and skincare formulations, it offers broad-spectrum protection by absorbing harmful UVA and UVB radiation. Formulators often choose umbelliferone because it is compatible with organic emulsions and shows good skin adhesion without irritation. At Aneeva Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., our 7-Hydroxycoumarin is packaged to preserve photostability, ensuring that product developers maintain consistent SPF effectiveness throughout the shelf life of their creams and lotions.
Pharmaceutical researchers have investigated 7-Hydroxycoumarin for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In preclinical studies, it has shown promise as a free radical scavenger, potentially aiding formulations aimed at combating oxidative stress–related disorders. Its moderate molecular weight and favorable ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) profile make it a starting point for synthesizing coumarin derivatives with improved pharmacokinetics. Aneeva Chemicals Pvt. Ltd.’s technical support team can assist medicinal chemists in scaling up from milligram to kilogram quantities—providing guidance on handling, storage under desiccation, and analytical methods to confirm batch-to-batch consistency.
When considering a supplier for 7-Hydroxycoumarin, factors like purity, moisture content, and packaging integrity are crucial. Aneeva Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. ensures each batch meets or exceeds industry standards, with Certificates of Analysis available on request. Whether you are developing cutting-edge fluorescence assays, expanding your cosmetic line with effective UV filters, or exploring novel coumarin analogs for drug discovery, our 7-Hydroxycoumarin delivers reliable performance.
