Succinylacetone is a ketone derivative used in biochemical research, particularly in the study of metabolic disorders such as tyrosinemia. It is an abnormal byproduct of fumarylacetoacetate and maleylacetoacetate that accumulates in tyrosinemia type I, which is why it serves as a diagnostic marker and is also used in the development of diagnostic assays. Available with a CAS number of 51568-18-4, its molecular formula is C7H10O4, and it has a molecular weight of 158.15 g/mol. Store at 2 to 8 °C. This product carries a warning signal word due to potential health hazards. Molekula supplies Succinylacetone from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
