About Vitamin A Propionate

Vitamin A Propionate is an impurity of Retinol carrying the CAS registry number 7069-42-3. Its molecular formula is C23H34O2 and its molecular weight is 342.5 g/mol. Systematically, it is named [(2E,4E,6E,8E)-3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexen-1-yl)nona-2,4,6,8-tetraenyl] propanoate. It is also known as Retinyl Propionate or Retinol propionate.

The product is provided as a solid. Reference materials should be stored sealed and away from light and moisture, as specified on the accompanying COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

This Retinol impurity supports analytical method development and validation (AMV), batch release testing and the impurity sections of ANDA and DMF filings. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Vitamin A Propionate in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
