Chemical Structure

S-Methyl Ergothioneine CAS 176982-20-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of S-Methyl Ergothioneine is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

S-Methyl Ergothioneine (CAS 176982-20-0), molecular formula C10H17N3O2S and molecular weight 243.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

S-Methyl Ergothioneine (C10H17N3O2S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures S-Methyl Ergothioneine under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
