Description

2'-Iodohippuric Acid is a key iodinated derivative of the amino acid glycine, widely utilized as a versatile building block and diagnostic agent in advanced chemical synthesis. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a precursor for radiopharmaceuticals and contrast agents used in medical imaging, particularly for renal function studies. This high-purity intermediate is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic reagent sectors seeking reliable, specification-grade raw materials.

Application

• Radiopharmaceutical Precursor: Critical intermediate in the synthesis of iodine-123 and iodine-131 labeled compounds for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging.
• Contrast Agent Synthesis: Used in the development of X-ray and CT contrast media for enhanced visualization of renal structures and function.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in studies of hippuric acid metabolism, liver and kidney function tests, and enzymatic assays.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in peptide mimetics and complex molecule construction where an iodinated aromatic moiety is required.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: A component in in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits for clinical laboratory testing of organ function.

Quality Control

Our 2'-Iodohippuric Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical research and synthesis. Key parameters including identity, assay, and impurity profiles are verified. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity by HPLC, residual solvents, and heavy metals are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize degradation.
