Lumiflavine is a structural analog of the water-soluble vitamin riboflavin that has been used to study the mechanism of uptake of riboflavin into intestinal epithelial (Caco-2) and human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells.1,2 It inhibits the uptake of radiolabeled riboflavin approximately 3-fold (at 25uM) and 30-fold (at 10uM) in Caco-2 cells and hRPE cells, respectively.1,2 Synonyms: 7,8,10-Trimethylbenzo[g]pteridine-2,4(3H,10H)-dione, 4-hydroxy-7,8,10-trimethylbenzo[g]pteridin-2(10H)-one, Lumiflavine, 7,8,10-Trimethylisoalloxazine CAS Number: 1088-56-8 Molecular Formula: C13H12N4O2 Molecular Weight: 256.26 Purity: 95% Form: Supplied as a yellow to green crystalline solid Melting Point: 320-330C (lit) Storage and Stability: Store at -20C long-term.
