Methiodide of gramine, also known as gramine methiodide, is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from gramine, a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the plant Poaceae. It is characterized by its chemical formula C10H21N2I and is known for its antifungal properties. Gramine methiodide has been used in various applications, including as a preservative in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as well as in the treatment of certain fungal infections. Its effectiveness is attributed to its ability to disrupt the cell membrane of fungi, leading to cell death. However, due to its potential toxicity and the development of more effective and safer alternatives, its use has been largely replaced in modern medicine and cosmetics.
The CAS Registry Mumber 6000-64-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,0,0 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 4 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6000-64: (6*6)+(5*0)+(4*0)+(3*0)+(2*6)+(1*4)=52 52 % 10 = 2 So 6000-64-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
