Description

Undecaprenol From Ailanthus Altissima CAS NO 15575-14-1 is a high-purity, naturally sourced polyprenol alcohol, specifically an undecaprenol isomer, extracted from the *Ailanthus altissima* tree. This compound serves as a critical biochemical precursor in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall components, making it an essential intermediate for research and development in microbiology and pharmaceutical synthesis. It is primarily sought by biotechnology firms, academic research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in antibiotic discovery, glycobiology studies, and the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting bacterial pathways.

Application

• Biochemical Research Intermediate: A vital precursor in the study and enzymatic synthesis of bacterial peptidoglycan and other cell wall polymers.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in R&D for novel antibiotics and antimicrobial agents that target the bacterial cell wall synthesis pathway.
• Glycobiology & Enzymology Studies: Serves as a substrate for studying the function of enzymes like undecaprenyl phosphate glycosyltransferases.
• Microbial Metabolism Research: Essential for investigating the biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and teichoic acids in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and validation.
• Synthetic Biology: Used as a building block in engineered metabolic pathways for the production of complex natural products.

Quality Control

Our Undecaprenol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C. The product is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain purity and activity.
