Description

Dl-2-Hydroxy-5-Nitro-Phenylalanine is a non-natural, nitro-substituted aromatic amino acid derivative. This compound is a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for the development of novel pharmaceutical agents and biochemical probes. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring structurally complex amino acid analogs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for enzyme inhibitors or receptor modulators.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies and as a precursor for synthesizing labeled compounds or peptide mimetics.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as an intermediate in the design and production of novel herbicides or plant growth regulators that incorporate modified amino acid structures.
• Peptide Chemistry: Incorporated into custom peptides to study structure-activity relationships (SAR) or to impart specific electronic or steric properties.
• Material Science: Potential use as a monomer or functional additive in the synthesis of specialized polymers and advanced materials.

Quality Control

Our Dl-2-Hydroxy-5-Nitro-Phenylalanine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 using desiccants.
