About Bexarotene

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Bexarotene, a high-purity reference standard of Bexarotene registered under CAS number 153559-49-0. Formula C24H28O2, molecular weight 348.5 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 4-[1-(3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-6,7-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl)ethenyl]benzoic acid. It is also known as Targretin or Targrexin.

It is supplied as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a reference sample of Bexarotene, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
