E-mail:Product Overview & Core Technical Identity
SUNWAY supplies high-purity Synthetic Guanine (CAS:73-40-5) fully complying with internal enterprise standards and USP reference specifications. Guanine is a core natural purine nucleobase that constitutes DNA & RNA, widely adopted as key pharmaceutical intermediate, food flavor enhancer, cosmetic pearlescent raw material and feed nutrition additive. Our product adopts advanced chemical synthesis & multi-stage recrystallization purification technology, featuring ultra-low single impurity, strict heavy metal control and stable batch-to-batch consistency. Every batch undergoes full HPLC comprehensive testing and 12-month sealed sample retention to realize complete quality traceability. Flexible order options cover small 5kg lab trial bags to ton-level bulk cartons, and mixed consolidated shipment with other purine/pyrimidine raw materials, vitamins and amino acids is supported to lower customers' integrated procurement & logistics costs.

Physiological Functions & Industry Application Logic
Guanine is an essential endogenous purine base existing in all animal, plant and microbial cells, with multi-dimensional industrial value across pharmacy, food, cosmetic and feed sectors:
Core Pharmaceutical Synthetic Intermediate Guanine is the fundamental starting raw material for mass production of nucleoside antiviral drugs including Acyclovir, Ganciclovir, Valacyclovir and Ribavirin. It undergoes derivatization reaction to form guanosine, gMP, cGMP, which are key active substances for anti-herpes, anti-virus and anti-tumor preparations.
Food Umami Enhancer Precursor Guanine can be converted into guanosine monophosphate (GMP), a high-intensity natural flavor enhancer widely used in seasonings, instant food, dairy and nutritional beverages to boost delicate umami taste without extra salt intake.
Cosmetic Pearlescent & Brightening Raw Material Guanine microcrystal forms layered light-reflecting structure, delivering natural soft pearly luster in eye shadow, nail polish, shampoo and body care lotion; meanwhile it assists epidermal cell metabolism for mild brightening effect.
Animal Nutrition Immune Booster As purine nutrition supplement for livestock, poultry and aquatic animals, guanine optimizes nucleic acid synthesis in animal cells, accelerates young animal growth, improves anti-stress ability and enhances fur gloss & meat quality.
Life Science Research Reagent Standard high-purity guanine serves as reference substance for DNA/RNA synthesis experiment, gene editing and microbiology metabolic research in laboratories.
Key Property Reminder: Guanine is practically insoluble in pure water, soluble in dilute acid & alkaline solution; stable under normal temperature, avoid long-term contact with strong oxidants to prevent degradation.
