About Adrenochrome

Adrenochrome (CAS 54-06-8) is a high-purity reference standard of Adrenochrome offered by Vaqora Chemicals. Formula C9H9NO3, molecular weight 179.17 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 3-hydroxy-1-methyl-2,3-dihydroindole-5,6-dione. Common synonyms include Adraxone and 3-Hydroxy-1-methyl-5,6-indolinedione.

It is supplied as a solid. Keep the vial tightly closed, protected from light and humidity, at the temperature stated on the Certificate of Analysis. Under GHS it is labelled “Warning”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

Laboratories use this Adrenochrome standard for identity and assay testing, system suitability checks and method validation supporting ANDA and DMF filings. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

We offer Adrenochrome in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
