General description

Ethyl acetate can be used as a flavoring agent in the food industry. It is one of the volatile components identified in Spirulina platensis.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application


  • New piperazine derivatives helvamides B-C from the marine-derived fungus Penicillium velutinum ZK-14 uncovered by OSMAC (One Strain Many Compounds) strategy.: Ethyl acetate is utilized as a solvent to isolate new bioactive compounds from marine fungi, indicating its crucial role in drug discovery and natural product research (Borkunov et al., 2024).

  • Thermodynamic Analysis of Eplerenone in 13 Pure Solvents at Temperatures from 283.15 to 323.15 K.: This article provides comprehensive data on the solubility and thermodynamics of pharmaceutical compounds in ethyl acetate, demonstrating its importance in pharmaceutical formulations (Liu et al., 2024).

  • Disruption of NADPH Homeostasis by Total Flavonoids from Adinandra nitida Merr. ex Li Leaves Triggers ROS-Dependent p53 Activation Leading to Apoptosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells.: Ethyl acetate is used to extract bioactive flavonoids, contributing to research in cancer treatment by demonstrating the pro-apoptotic effects on lung cancer cells (Lan et al., 2024).
