  • Applications

    Myricetin 3,7,4'-trimethyl ether (CAS 15868-40-3) is used primarily as a synthetic intermediate in pharmaceutical and fine chemical research, enabling the construction of flavonoid-derived building blocks for drug discovery; it is also evaluated as an antioxidant and stabilizing additive in cosmetics, helping protect formulation ingredients from oxidation. In polymer and coatings applications, it can function as an antioxidant/stabilizer for polymers, coatings, and inks to improve aging resistance, while in research and development it serves as a precursor for derived flavonoids and related materials, and may be explored as a starting point for functionally engineered materials for electronics or specialty applications.
