Source:Isolated from fungus Phoma sp.
Molecular Formula:C38H38O16
Molecular Weight:750.7
Purity:≥97% (HPLC)
Appearance:Off-white to yellow solid.
Solubility:DMSO. Slightly soluble in ethanol.
Note:P. Boehler (2018) describes that Phomoxanthone A becomes unstable if dissolved in DMSO, and readily isomerizes into the essentially non-toxic compound dicerandrol C. We advise therefore to dissolve the compound in DMSO immediately before usage.
Storage and Stability:Store at -20°C. Keep cool and dry, and protect from light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
