Description

3-(Propylsulphinyl)-L-Alanine is a specialized, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a propylsulfinyl side chain. This compound is of significant interest in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly as a key chiral building block or intermediate for synthesizing more complex bioactive molecules. It serves critical roles for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors who require high-purity, structurally defined intermediates for drug discovery and process chemistry.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial chiral synthon in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, especially those targeting neurological or metabolic pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies to investigate sulfur-containing amino acid metabolism and related biological processes.
• Peptide Modification: Incorporated into synthetic peptides to introduce the sulfoxide functional group, altering peptide conformation, stability, or receptor binding properties.
• Ligand Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for creating specialized ligands used in asymmetric catalysis or metal chelation studies.
• Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and validation in pharmaceutical analysis.

Quality Control

Our 3-(Propylsulphinyl)-L-Alanine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and pharmaceutical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers should be opened minimally and handled in a controlled, dry environment to prevent degradation.
