4-AMINOANTIPYRINE (4-Amino Phenazone)

4-Aminoantipyrine (4-Amino Phenazone) is an organic compound derived from aminopyrine. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic activities. Its therapeutic use is limited due to the risk of agranulocytosis. Thus, it is mainly treated as a chemical reagent.

The compound is a pale yellow crystal. Soluble in water, ethanol and ether, which allows it to be used in laboratory techniques with more flexibility. It is commonly used in biochemical reactions that produce peroxides or phenols, including colorimetric glucose determination in the presence of phenol and peroxidase.

4-Aminoantipyrine (4-Amino Phenazone) is a high-purity laboratory reagent supplied as pale yellow crystals with a minimum assay of 98.0%. It is widely used as a reagent for glucose determination in the presence of phenol and peroxidase.
