Lumiflavin-3-acetic acid ethyl ester is a derivative of lumiflavin, which is a form of riboflavin (vitamin B2). This compound is typically used in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to the photochemical properties of flavins. The modification with an acetic acid ethyl ester group alters its solubility and reactivity, making it suitable for specific experimental applications such as investigating the dynamics of flavin in various environments or its role in biological light absorption and fluorescence processes.
