Application


  • Synthesis of Remdesivir Derivate as a Generation of Anti-COVID-19 Drugs Through Acetylation Reactions.: This study involves the synthesis of a derivative of Remdesivir, aiming to enhance anti-COVID-19 activity through acetylation. Dichloromethane plays a critical role in the solvent system used during synthesis, impacting the reaction conditions and outcomes (Sumardi et al., 2023).

  • Antioxidant potentials of extracts from different parts of Clinacanthus nutans (Burm. f.) Lindau.: Investigates the antioxidant properties of various extracts from Clinacanthus nutans, where dichloromethane is utilized for the extraction process. This research highlights dichloromethane′s efficiency in isolating antioxidant compounds from plant materials (Duy Dang K et al., 2024).

  • Correlation between intestinal toxicity and composition changes of toxic parts from Euphorbia ebracteolata before and after Terminalia chebula soup processing: Discusses changes in toxic components of Euphorbia ebracteolata post-processing. Dichloromethane is critical for extracting and analyzing these components, demonstrating its importance in toxicological assessments (Lin WH et al., 2024).

  • Isolation of a Marker Olean-12-en-28-butanol Derivative from Viscum continuum E. Mey. Ex Sprague and the Evaluation of Its Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Potentials.: Focuses on isolating specific compounds from Viscum continuum using dichloromethane, illustrating its utility in pharmacognosy for identifying bioactive substances (Mapfumari et al., 2024).

Features and Benefits

ACS solvents meet or exceed the high standards of the American Chemical Society (ACS) ,with test specifications that are specialized to every compound. According to the American Chemical Society, ACS reagent grade implies that it is a substance of sufficient purity to be used in most chemical analyses or reactions.
