Description

Isoleucine, 3-Methoxy-, Dl- (8Ci) is a modified amino acid derivative, specifically a methoxylated form of the branched-chain amino acid isoleucine. This compound is significant for its role as a key chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for the synthesis of novel bioactive molecules and complex peptides.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial chiral synthon for the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in metabolic and neurological research.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a non-proteinogenic amino acid building block in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to introduce specific structural modifications.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in metabolic pathway studies and as a substrate analog in enzymatic assays to investigate amino acid metabolism and transport.
• Agrochemical Development: Acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of novel herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators that mimic or interfere with natural amino acid functions.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Utilized in asymmetric synthesis and medicinal chemistry for constructing complex molecular architectures with defined stereochemistry.
• Reference Standard: Supplied as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in analytical laboratories.
