Chemical Structure

Actinomycin D (Dactinomycin) CAS 50-76-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Actinomycin D (Dactinomycin) (CAS 50-76-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C62H86N12O16, MW 1255.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Actinomycin D (Dactinomycin) (C62H86N12O16) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 26.0, corresponding to approximately 26 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 1255.42 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
