High Purity Terrein for Research
Fungal Secondary Metabolite (C₈H₁₀O₃; CAS: 582-46-7)
Terrein is a secondary metabolite isolated from Canadian soil strains of Aspergillus terreus. At InVitvo Pharmaceuticals, we use fungal fermentation and analytical purification workflows to produce Terrein at grades exceeding 95% UHPLC purity.
Terrein has been investigated in peer-reviewed in vitro literature, including cancer cell line, pigmentation pathway, and antimicrobial assay models. InVitvo supplies Terrein only as an RUO research compound and makes no therapeutic, diagnostic, clinical, human, or veterinary-use claims.
