DETAILS

Description (English)

Caution
crystallized product can be liquidified by heating to 65°C
Other Notes
isomeric purity: ~95% all-trans- and ~5% 13-cis-isomer
Review: Systematic mode of action of vitamin A1
Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to 1 international unit acc. to Ph Eur II, 217 (1983)
Physical form
may partially crystallize
Biochem/physiol Actions
Retinal, retinol and retinoic acid are the aldehyde, alcohol and acid forms of vitamin A. The retinoids exist as many geometric isomers due to the unsaturated bonds in the aliphatic chain.Retinoids also exist as retinyl esters such as retinyl propionate, retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate. Retinyl esters provide pools of vitamin A that are converted into retinol and other retinoids as needed. Retinyl acetate is used in a wide range of biological applications.
