Description
5-Deazaflavin is a flavin analog, and Pure Rawz sells it as a powder. Each batch is checked for 99%+ purity. It’s intended for research use only.
5-Deazaflavin explained
5-Deazaflavin (CAS 26908-38-3) is a flavin analog in which the nitrogen at position 5 is swapped for carbon. Natural deazaflavins like coenzyme F420 are found in bacteria.
It’s the parent structure of TND1128.
How it acts in research models
5-Deazaflavins carry two electrons at once, the way nicotinamide cofactors do, while normal flavins can also carry one. Some synthetic deazaflavins inhibit enzymes such as sirtuins or act as photocatalysts.
The exact activity depends on the substituents on the ring.
What studies say about 5-Deazaflavin
Deazaflavin derivatives have been studied as p53 activators in cancer cells and as redox cycling agents.
Data are preclinical.

Choosing your option
This listing is 10g of powder for $119.95.
The powder is the bulk form, for labs that weigh their own amounts. Use a milligram scale for accuracy.
Study design notes
Nootropic research usually uses memory and learning tests in rodents, such as maze tasks, object recognition or fear conditioning, along with markers like BDNF or receptor binding.
Behavioral tests are sensitive to handling and time of day, so labs keep both constant and score results blind. A vehicle group run on the same day is the most useful control.
Test a range of amounts if you can. Many cognition compounds have an inverted-U response, where too much works worse than a moderate amount.

- Use: laboratory research only
Purity and batch testing
Every batch is tested before it goes on sale. Identity is checked by mass spectrometry, and purity by HPLC, with a target of 99% or higher.
Each container is labeled with the product, the amount and the batch number. Email us that number and we’ll send the certificate of analysis for your batch.
How to store 5-Deazaflavin
Keep the container sealed at room temperature, away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Write the date you opened or mixed it on the label, so anyone else in the lab knows how old it is.
Safe handling
Treat it as a lab chemical. Gloves and safety glasses are the minimum, and a clean, uncluttered workspace cuts down on mix-ups.
Store prepared solutions apart from untouched stock, and record who mixed what and when.
Before you start
- a milligram scale, since powder has to be weighed
- a suitable solvent if you’re making your own solution, such as DMSO or propylene glycol
