5579-16-8 Usage
Originator
Eppy,Barnes Hind,US,1961
Uses
Adrenergic.
Manufacturing Process
Epinephrine may be made by isolation from animal adrenal glands or may be
synthesized as described by Payne in Ind. Chemist, 37, 523 (1961).It has been found that epinephrine solutions having a physiological pH and
which are stable for months in storage can be prepared by combining with the
epinephrine a small amount of sodium bisulfite, boric acid, and oxine (8-
hydroxy-quinoline) hereinafter called 8-quinolinol and adjusting the pH with
an alkali, such as sodium hydroxide, to the desired pH.It has been found that from 0.001 to 0.1% of 8-quinolinol can be used. From
0.2 to 5% boric acid may be used. The amount of sodium bisulfite can be
varied from 0.1 to 1%. The solutions can contain from 0.1 to 4% epinephrine.
The pHs of the solutions can be adjusted to any value within the physiological
range, i.e., from 6.5 to 8.5 using any convenient alkali such as sodium
hydroxide.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 5579-16-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,5,7 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5579-16:
(6*5)+(5*5)+(4*7)+(3*9)+(2*1)+(1*6)=118
118 % 10 = 8
So 5579-16-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
