Xanthine Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2,6-Dihydroxypurine
Xanthine supplier for research, synthesis and formulation-evaluation buyers in Malaysia. Also called 2,6-dihydroxypurine, it is a white to yellowish crystalline purine compound and the parent structure of methylxanthines such as caffeine.
Research, technical-intermediate and formulation-evaluation grades are selected by purity, moisture, test method and intended use. Xanthine should not be treated as caffeine, paraxanthine or another methylxanthine because each is a separate chemical.
Laboratories use xanthine in purine-metabolism studies, as a substrate in xanthine-oxidase assays and as an analytical reference. Chemical and formulation buyers can enquire when their process or ingredient specification explicitly names xanthine.
Send the grade, purity and analytical requirements, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, documentation and commercial terms are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about xanthine
Which xanthine grades can be requested?
Research, technical-intermediate and formulation-evaluation grades can be requested. Send the target purity, analytical method and intended use so the requirement can be matched without confusing xanthine with a methylxanthine.
How is xanthine related to caffeine?
Xanthine is the parent purine compound from which methylxanthines such as caffeine, theobromine and theophylline are derived. It shares a similar chemical scaffold but differs in its biological activity and methylation pattern.
Is xanthine soluble in water?
Xanthine is sparingly soluble in cold water. Solubility improves in hot water and in dilute alkaline or acidic solutions. Formulators should consider this when designing aqueous preparations.
What documentation is provided with xanthine orders?
Availability of certificate of analysis, safety data sheet and other technical documentation is confirmed with the quotation.
