Description

Homocysteine, n-Benzoyl- is a chemically modified derivative of the amino acid homocysteine, featuring a benzoyl protecting group on the nitrogen atom. This modification is critical for its primary role as a key synthetic intermediate and research standard in the development of pharmaceutical compounds and biochemical assays. It is an essential material for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors who require high-purity building blocks for peptide synthesis and metabolic pathway studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates targeting cardiovascular and neurological disorders.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in studies of homocysteine metabolism, methylation cycles, and related enzymatic pathways.
• Peptide Synthesis: Serves as a protected amino acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide chemistry.
• Diagnostic Development: Employed in the research and production of diagnostic kits and assays for measuring homocysteine levels, a key biomarker.
• Reference Standard: Utilized as a high-purity analytical reference standard for quality control and method validation in analytical laboratories.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental material for investigating the biochemical effects and therapeutic modulation of homocysteine and its derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Homocysteine, n-Benzoyl- CAS NO 103796-22-1 is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and synthesis applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
