Description

Amidinophenylpyruvic Acid is a specialized organic compound featuring both an amidino and a pyruvic acid functional group on a phenyl ring, making it a valuable intermediate in fine chemical synthesis. Its unique bifunctional structure allows it to serve as a key building block for creating complex molecules with specific biological or chemical activities. This high-purity intermediate is essential for research and development laboratories and production facilities in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced material sectors seeking to develop novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting enzymes or receptors where the amidino group can act as a bioisostere.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing new herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators that require specific molecular recognition properties.
• Biochemical Probe Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for creating labeled compounds or probes used in metabolic pathway studies and diagnostic assays.
• Peptidomimetic Chemistry: The amidinophenyl moiety is valuable for constructing non-peptide scaffolds that mimic the structure and function of peptides.
• Coordination Chemistry & Material Science: Acts as a ligand or building block for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or functional polymers due to its multiple coordination sites.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Employed in organic synthesis research for method development and exploring new chemical reactions involving sensitive functional groups.

Quality Control

Our Amidinophenylpyruvic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assay, spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The compound may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
