Epinephrine sulfonic acid (Cat No.: R052659) is a water-soluble derivative of epinephrine (adrenaline), in which a sulfonic acid group is introduced to enhance hydrophilicity and stability. Retaining the core catecholamine structure, it exhibits similar sympathomimetic activity, interacting with adrenergic receptors to influence cardiovascular and metabolic functions. This modification is often used in research to improve compound handling or delivery in aqueous systems. Epinephrine sulfonic acid may serve in pharmacological studies or analytical applications where enhanced solubility and reduced volatility are advantageous.
