Product Description: Isoxanthopterin is a heterocyclic compound belonging to the pteridine family and its activity is mainly reflected in its optical properties. Isoxanthopterin can form a reflective layer in the eyes of animals, enhancing visual function. The main regulatory mechanism of isoxanthopterin involves its ability to form a crystalline structure within organisms, which achieves a high refractive index through specific hydrogen bonding patterns and molecular arrangements. Isoxanthopterin can be used for research in materials science and optical engineering[1].
