Description

n-Oleoyl Leucine is a high-purity, synthetic amino acid derivative where the carboxyl group of leucine is conjugated with oleic acid. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic properties, combining the hydrophobic character of a long-chain fatty acid with the structural functionality of a branched-chain amino acid. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for its role as a skin-conditioning agent, emulsifier, and potential bioactive intermediate. Our supply of n-Oleoyl Leucine CAS NO 136560-76-4 ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for global industrial applications.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a high-performance skin-conditioning agent, emulsifier, and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block or prodrug component in the synthesis of specialized active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or model compound in enzymatic studies, membrane research, and lipid metabolism investigations.
• Surfactant & Emulsion Systems: Functions as a non-ionic or anionic surfactant in specialized industrial and agrochemical emulsions.
• Nutraceutical Delivery Systems: Employed in the development of lipid-based delivery systems for vitamins and supplements to enhance bioavailability.
• Advanced Material Science: Investigated for use in the creation of bio-derived polymers, gels, and self-assembling nanostructures.

Quality Control

Our n-Oleoyl Leucine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR for identification, and specific tests for residual solvents and heavy metals, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
